Every year at SXSW, the hottest party in town is at The Illmore. For the past three years, ILLROOTS and ScoreMore Shows have consistently drawn the biggest artists and the best crowds. Their decked-out mansion is reason enough to travel to Texas every March. Now that the dust has settled, and everyone's finally recovered from the endless events going down at Austin's most reliable haven for entertainment, we're taking a quick look back at the spot's greatest stories.
These are The 10 Best Moments at The ILLMORE.
Kendrick Lamar's "m.A.A.d city" Performance
If you have any reservations about K. Dot's awesomeness, this video will change everything. He absolutely destroyed the crowd with this highlight from his album.
Waka Flocka's Crowd Performance
Seeing Waka shake those dreads has a much stronger effect when he's two feet away.
Trinidad James' "All Gold Everything" Performance
The breakout hit of last year was still ringing off months after it blew up.
A$AP Rocky's Performance
Pretty Flacko has one of the dopest shows in hip-hop, and his set at the Illmore was a serious reminder of that.
Macklemore's "Thrift Shop" Performance
Of course the No. 1 song in the country is going to send the crowd into a frenzy.
Just Blaze's DJ Set
If you think Just Blaze is nice on the beats, just wait until you hear him rock a party.
Meek Mill's "House Party" Performance
"House Party" at a house party? It was quite the meta moment, and the song lives up to its title.
Chance, the Rapper's 90-Minute Performance
If you can hold an Illmore crowd's attention for an hour and a half, you get our stamp of approval.
Wiz Khalifa and Big Sean's "Gang Bang" Performance
This live rendition of the duo's banging collab came with a double dose of energy.
Bun B's Birthday Party
It doesn't get much cooler than a hip-hop legend celebrating his birthday at your party spot.
