Fire Records at SXSW 2026: Haylie Davis, lucky break, Graham Reynolds (The Portcullis) and Jon Langford (Mekons)

March 12, 2026

Fire Records heads back to Austin for SXSW 2026 with a special showcase at Hotel Vegas in partnership with Anniversary Group & Songbird Creative. Featuring performances from our newest signings — Haylie Davis, the LA-based singer-songwriter whose music gently echoes the Laurel Canyon golden era, and lucky break, whose music blends alt-rock, DIY punk and indie pop. Also joining us: Texas’ own composer, bandleader and improviser Graham Reynolds presenting his new project The Portcullis, plus Jon Langford of the legendary postmodern, post-punk, past-caring collective Mekons.
