Lana Del Rey Added To SXSW 2012 Lineup

Less than two days after her deeply divisive debut SNL performance, word comes that Lana Del Rey is heading into the belly of the beast: she’s been added to the SXSW 2012 line-up, which means the dusky Born To Die singer will perform for many of the tastemakers, music bloggers, advertisers and industry folk who have slammed her privately and publicly.

In addition to Lana Del Rey, SXSW has added:

Little Boots (of Shake Until Your Heart Breaks fame)
Miike Snow (who’ll play “Devil’s Work” for sure, and maybe “Toxic” if you ask nicely)
The Ting Tings (who’ll show off Sounds From Nowheresville)
