Hope is the thing with feathers That perches in the soul, And sings the tune--without the words, And never stops at all.

X Japan is scheduled to play in Austin, Texas on March 19th. As one participant in the South by Southwest (SXSW) Music and Media Conference, they will step on the stage of Rusty Spurs at 1AM, following five other bands.

South by Southwest is an annual set of film, interactive and music festivals and conferences that this year cover 10 days, from March 11th to March 20th, with the music festival starting on the 16th. The music conference is one of the biggest in the USA, with an estimation of almost 2,000 bands preforming last year on over 80 different stages throughout Austin. There will be a conference mainly for the music industry insiders going on during the day and hundreds of bands preforming in the evening/during the night.

The badge that gets you admission to the conference and all of the shows costs $750, but as far as we know, individual shows are available for the general public also, with a walk-in-ticket you can purchase from the venue. However, people with badges get priority, so not everyone might get in.

Also note tha we haven't yet received any confirmation from X Japan about the performance.
