BIGSOUND continues to cement its place on Australia's cultural calendar as the place where tomorrow's stars are uncovered, and the shape of future business is forged.
BIGSOUND runs over four days and nights across Brisbane's Fortitude Valley, showcasing the next big thing to fans, industry, and international tastemakers alike. Its massive artist line-up has been instrumental in uncovering names like Flume, Spacey Jane, Rufus, Courtney Barnett, Tones and I, The Temper Trap, Thelma Plum, Tampa The Great, Gang of Youths and more.
By day, BIGSOUND presents an invaluable opportunity to meet new collaborators and learn from the best from around the world. The conference program presents ideas from some of the international music industry's most revered and forward-thinking luminaries. Delegates have heard from and rubbed shoulders with the likes of Nick Cave, Neil Finn, Kim Gordon, Simon Raymonde (Bella Union / Cocteau Twins), Billy Bragg, Amanda Palmer, Peter Garrett, Ben Lee, Seymore Stein (Sire), Michael Chugg, and Steve Earle. You never know who you will meet.
Launched in 2002 by industry development organisation QMusic, BIGSOUND's community of musical innovation and togetherness now attracts over 1,700 conference delegates and an aggregate showcase attendance of over 20,000.
We'd love to see you there.
