The South by South West (SXSW) music festival, which takes place in Austin, Texas, in March 2010 is one of the most famous musical events on the planet. However, with Texas being quite a ways-a-way, it’s often quite difficult to find the time – and, indeed the plane fare – to actually get over there and experience it first-hand. So, Nokia Music is offering you the chance to bag tickets and air-fare for the festival of the year, Find out how you can let Nokia Music take you to SXSW Music Festival after the jump…

Nokia Music has gotten together with BT Openzone and are now offering you and a friend the chance to fly out and see the festival for free. The premise of the competition is simple: when you buy a BT Openzone voucher – either a 90 minute, 24 hour, 5 day, 30 day, or BT Openzone International one – and register with Nokia Music, not only do you get 5 free music downloads, but you’re also entered in a joint competition to win a pair of tickets and plane flights to SXSW Music Festival 2010.

Once you’ve registered with Nokia Music, you’ll have an application that’ll give you access to over 9 million music tracks that can be downloaded to either your laptop, PC, or Nokia handset – so even if you don’t win, you’ll still have plenty of music to check out.
