SXSW has announced that Snoop Dogg is to deliver a keynote speech at the Austin Convention Centre.
The creative showcase normally has a high profile artist deliver the Keynote Conversation, and in 2014 Lady Gaga was chosen to give the address. Snoop Dogg's appearance marks the first time a rapper has been selected.
Snoop's keynote will take place on 20 March at 11am in Ballroom A of the Austin Convention Centre.
SXSW 2015 takes place 13-22 March, and features a rich programme of film, art and music.
