The ATXgossip fam is very sad about the cancellation of SXSW 2020. And we’re not the only ones. Both celebrities scheduled to attend the festival as well as past performers and supporters of the ATX have been posting on social media about the news.
Here’s how celebrities are reacting to the SXSW cancellation.

Sending love to all the filmmakers, techies, musicians etc. who planned on heading to Austin for @SXSW. Both my indie films premiered there & it truly one of the best festivals in the world. If there’s anything I can do to help promote & get your work out there pls let me know.

Disappointed about #sxsw. Was excited to launch our doc Hungry to Learn there, but fully understand safety and health first.

Thinking about how much my SXSW screenings meant to me.
If you’re a filmmaker who was going to screen at SXSW this year and your film is online, or if you have a website/trailer, please hit me with the link and I will share it on Twitter and in my email newsletter.
Big love.

Sending love to all the filmmakers who won’t be able to show their films at @sxsw. I can’t wait to see all your movies. Also major love to @JanetPierson whose heart must be broken right now. It’s the best fest and it will be back! 💪

Hey all. I’m heartbroken to have to tell you that @sxsw was canceled which means all my panels, dinners, appearances etc are not going to happen.
I love you Austin, see for the Food & Wine Fest in April.— Andrew Zimmern (@andrewzimmern) March 6, 2020
