Incoming weather: SXSW moving free outdoor Saturday concerts to inside venue

The end-of-the-week threat for severe weather is hitting just as SXSW's outdoor concerts ramp up.

AUSTIN (KXAN) -- The end-of-the-week threat for severe weather is hitting just as South by Southwest's outdoor concerts ramp up.

Because of this, SXSW's free Saturday concerts - part of the SXSW Community Concerts series - originally planned at Auditorium Shores, will now move to Palm Door on Sixth, an indoor venue, according to a Thursday afternoon email from organizers. The email did not mention any changes to Friday's concerts at Auditorium Shores.

The SXSW concerts scheduled at the Moody Amphitheater are "rain or shine," events, the email continued.

However, Rodeo Austin did not elaborate on what those changes would be and how outdoor activities would be addressed in the event of severe weather.
