More than 2,000 musical acts have descended on Austin, Texas, for SXSW, and their week of live performances will begin on Tuesday.

Whether you're in Austin poring over the schedules or living vicariously through Instagram photos, the thought of sifting through thousands of musical acts is rather daunting.

Fortunately for you, we've rounded up songs from 50 of the best acts playing at SXSW for this week's Music Monday playlist. The list ranges from new acts to superstars like Lady Gaga and Coldplay.
