If you will be attending any events at the annual South by Southwest (SXSW) Festival than you will probably want to see X-Factor sensation Cher Lloyd on the 17th of March. Known for her charismatic vocals and #1 UK hit, Swagger Jagger, she’s getting ready to take the U.S. by storm.

The festival kicks-off today in Austin, Texas and features a variety of events and performances. The show with Cher Lloyd won’t happen until the 17th, but the announcement has got some fans getting pretty excited. Let’s see what they are saying on Twitter:

Cher Lloyd, DEV, Dragonette, Kimbra, Kreayshawn, Rosi Golan are all playing Perez Hilton’s One Night In Austin. Search the SXSW website.
