Kanye West and Jay Z to perform together at South by Southwest

Ready for a Watch the Throne comeback? Kanye West and Jay Z have announced a joint performance at South by Southwest this week. It will be their first time performing together on stage in two years. The Austin Chronicle reports that the duo will kick off Samsung's four-day concert series at the Austin Music Hall on Wednesday.

As Consequence of Sound points out (via Mashable), Samsung plans to give out concert wristbands to owners of Galaxy devices that have downloaded the ad-free radio service Milk Music. They are now available for pickup at the Galaxy Experience pop-up location at 2nd Street and Trinity Street.

If you don't own a Galaxy, you're still in luck. Kayne's G.O.O.D. Music label will host a showcase on Wednesday night at Brazos Hall. The lineup features Pusha T, King Louie, Been Trill and other members of G.O.O.D. Music as well as a "surprise guest." Could it be Jay?

Other musicians performing this week for Samsung include Janelle Monae and Gary Clark Jr. on Thursday, Broken Bells on Friday and Cut Copy and Holy Ghost! on Saturday.
