AUSTIN, TX (March 3, 2025) — KiTbetter is bringing the KiTalbum—an innovative format that merges the physical and digital music experience—to SXSW 2025 with three major activations, headlined by its role as Presenting Sponsor of FLOODfest’s 10th Anniversary.
KiTbetter’s SXSW 2025 activations include:
FLOODfest Presented by KiTbetter (March 14, 2025) – Celebrating FLOODfest’s 10th anniversary with a presenting sponsorship and a special edition festival collectible for fans.
MMMM Brunch (Musicians and Media Mixer at Moonshine) (March 12, 2025) – A private event at Austin’s iconic Moonshine fostering industry connections and artist networking.
SXSW Convention Center Booth (#1125) (March 7-12, 2025) – A hands-on experience for artists to sign up to release their own KiTalbum on-site
FLOODfest Presented by KiTbetter
KiTbetter is honored to be the title sponsor for FLOODfest’s 10th anniversary, marking the milestone moment for one of the festival’s most iconic showcases, not only powering FLOODfest, but also releasing a custom KiTalbum to serve as the exclusive digital companion for the event. Attendees are invited to experience the KiTalbum in person, and see for themselves how it delivers the best of both the physical and digital worlds for this already exciting event.
With artists including Preservation Hall Jazz Band, Confidence Man, Jasmine.4.T, Baths, Wishy, Cardinals, and more, FLOODfest is once again one of the most highly-anticipated showcases of SXSW, and now it reaches a new height of connectivity as the KiTalbum transforms passive listening into active engagement by combining the timeless appeal of physical albums with the limitless possibilities of digital content. Fans can hold music in their hands, immerse themselves in high-quality audio and video, and connect with vibrant fan communities.Â
MMMM Brunch (Musicians and Media Mixer at Moonshine)
KiTbetter is hosting a special music industry brunch at Moonshine Patio Bar & Grill, inviting artists and media professionals to connect over breakfast classics, mimosas, and music. The MMMM Brunch (Musicians and Media Mixer at Moonshine) is an unofficial SXSW event designed to introduce the KiTalbum format to musicians. Attendees will have the opportunity to learn how KiTalbums empower artists, build stronger fan connections, and provide a sustainable way to release music independently.
SXSW Expo Convention Center Booth (#1125)
SXSW Expo attendees can visit KiTbetter at Booth #1125 in the Austin Convention Center to see how the KiTalbum is changing the way music is shared, consumed, and monetized. Unlike streaming platforms, KiTalbums empower artists to release music on their own terms, giving them creative freedom and direct access to their audience.
KiTbetter is excited to celebrate the innovative and talented musicians at SXSW this year, providing them with a new opportunity for added value, increased fan engagement, creative freedom, and monetary reward.Â
