Billboard added that original ticket purchasers will get more information and refunds from Ticketmaster.

Performers on March 16 were to include Lil Yachty, Lola Brooke and Armani White.

SXSW organizers moved other Thursday outdoor events, including the community concerts near Lady Bird Lake, indoors to the Austin Convention Center.

The Billboard concert series ends Saturday with electronic music from Kx5 (Kaskade and deadmau5), according to Billboard.
