John Fogerty headed to South by Southwest

Creedence Clearwater Revival rocker John Fogerty is set to be one of the keynote speakers at the upcoming South by Southwest Conference and Festival March 7-15 in Austin, Texas.

Fogerty and Jay Graber, CEO of the social media site Bluesky, are the latest additions to the SXSW keynote lineup, which also includes IBM Chairman and CEO Arvind Krishna.

“Whether it be insights from the CEO of one of the fastest-growing social media platforms or tales from a Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, the unique perspectives showcased each March is what makes SXSW such an exceptional event,” Hugh Forrest, president and chief programming officer, says. “Jay Graber and John Fogerty are excellent additions to what is developing into a fascinating Keynote Speaker lineup.”

Fogerty has yet to announce a tour for 2025, but he has several shows already on the books. He’s headlining a three-night residency at the Encore Theater at The Wynn in Las Vegas starting Wednesday. He’s also set to play the FireAid benefit concert in Inglewood, California, on Jan. 30 and will be part of the 2025 edition of New Orleans Jazz Fest, taking place over two weekends, April 24-27 and May 1-4.
