Nick Kyrgios
Tennis superstar Nick Kyrgios stopped by for a special conference during the week.
The Aussie athlete kept it sporty in a casual hoodie and cap for the event, where he dropped some major news.
Nick Kyrgios
Kyrgios spoke on-stage during one of the conferences on October 17, where the star confirmed he will be playing in the Australian Open next year after returning from injury.
"I just want to be out there, lighting up the crowd and playing in front of my own country," he said at SXSW as per The Age.
"Whether it is good or bad, it will certainly be a lot of fun, for sure. I am looking forward to it ... my only motivation to come back and play is to try and win a grand slam, and I'll give it one more shot."
Ione Skye
British-American actress Ione Skye, of River's Edge fame, made an appearance for a live recording of her podcast Weirder Together with her husband Ben Lee, who is most famous for his 2000s hit Catch My Disease.
Ben Lee
Her Aussie partner Lee was right across from her on the other mic.
Lee is known for his acting and music, after getting his start in the rock band Noise Addict in the early '90s.
Hamish Blake
Comedian Hamish Blake was also there, chatting on-stage at a conference with author and chef Ben Shewry.
The LEGO Masters host kept it casual in jeans and a soft hoodie.
Adam Hyde and Reuben Styles
Electronic duo Adam Hyde and Reuben Styles, best known by their fans as Peking Duk, jammed out on-stage at The Commons Chippendale.
Ayesha Madon
Aussie actress Ayesha Madon made a name for herself on the Heartbreak High reboot series as Amerie Wadia, but now she's caught attention for a new reason.
Along with being a screen star, the 26-year-old is a singer.
Madon performed on-stage at the Lord Gladstone on October 16, 2024 with a rather interesting choice of word on her top...
Ayesha Madon
Very demure.
The TV star rocked a basic white shirt with 'demure' written across the front – a word that has taken social media by storm this year.
The word gained popularity after a TikTok video from creator Jools Lebron went viral for the phrase, "Very demure, very mindful", which became a hit among Gen Z.
Lucy Lawless
New Zealand actress Lucy Lawless, best known for her titular '90s role in Xena: Warrior Princess, made a second appearance at SXSW Sydney for the Lucy Lawless In Conversation With Patricia Karvelas conference.
