walworth: Richard SXSW organizers responded by saying that Felix Walworth, who goes by the stage name Told Slant, had misunderstood their policies and that no artist in the festival's 30-plus-year history had been reported to federal immigration agents, according to CBC. Walworth's tweet drew swift reaction on social media and comes amid heightened fears of immigration crackdowns under U.S. President Donald Trump. New York musician Felix Walworth, who goes by the stage name Told Slant, shared the details of the SXSW contract online. After looking through this contract sent to me by sxsw I have decided to cancel Told Slant's performance at the festival Felixixix666 Walworth singled out a portion of the event contract that states SXSW will notify the appropriate U.S. immigration authorities if organizers determine an artist acts in ways that adversely affect the viability of their official SXSW showcase. the managing director of sxsw accused me of pasting together two parts of the contract to make it sound worse than it is. SXSW envelops Austin each year with hundreds of unofficial events around the city in addition to the official showcases that require festival credentials.
