For the first time since its founding, the Fader's invite-only Fader Fort, usually held at SXSW, will go digital due to the coronavirus pandemic.
More than 40 acts will take part in this year's edition, which pivoted to an online event due to SXSW's coronavirus-related March cancelation. Acts include Kesha, Tainy, FINNEAS, TOKiMONSTA, Smino, Noah Cyrus, Phantogram, Wiki and more. The event will go live on Tuesday, March 31, at 10 a.m. ET and continue until 4 p.m. ET.
This year will mark the event's 18th year going and will feature new music premieres and catalog reimaginings. Fader Fort 2020 will be an opportunity to raise money for charities helping out with the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, a press release said.
In 2019, the Fader Fort featured Megan Thee Stallion, Rico Nasty, Japanese Breakfast, Omar Apollo, Big Boi and more, as well as fireside chats.
