To add some evidence:

2013 Glastonbury: 135,000 [0]

SXSW (music): 82,119 [1]

Neither of which compare to anything on this list[2]:

10th EXIT (NOVI SAD, SERBIA): 200,000

1st DONAUINSELFEST (VIENNA, AUSTRIA): 3,200,000

So even in the US SXSW is completely dwarfed by Coachella and Summerfest.

You're acting as if SXSW is(was) the only draw to Austin's music scene. ACL, Fun Fun Fest, X other festivals and the hundreds of different venues with bands playing every night all make up a a part of it.
