+ Meet the programming team

#The southern hemisphere's biggest music industry event is back!

Now in its 22nd year, BIGSOUND has grown to become the largest dedicated music showcase and conference event of its type in Australia. Run across three game-changing days and three fun-filled nights, showcasing acts can connect with, listen to and play in front of some of the most influential players in music.  

This BIGSOUND will welcome tastemakers from across the globe including media, A&R, agents, promoters, music supervisors, buyers and so much more.

With alumni including Gang of Youths, Flume, Tash Sultana, Sampa the Great, Courtney Barnett, Cub Sport, Violent Soho, King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard, Baker Boy, Spacey Jane, The Jungle Giants, Thelma Plum, Tones and I and many more, BIGSOUND has become a rite of passage for Australian musicians breaking out onto the world stage.  

#Over the years, BIGSOUND has rapidly evolved.

We recognise that networking, workshops and other events have become far more integral for both delegates and artists and this year we’re looking to provide more artist opportunities than ever.
