The first round music lineup for what will be BIGSOUND’s eagerly anticipated 15th anniversary has just been unveiled and it’s another promising glimpse into the future of homegrown music.
Offering one of their most jam-packed lineups yet, this year BIGSOUND punters will be treated to performances by the likes of Sampa the Great, Alex Lahey, and West Thebarton Brothel Party.
There’ll also be appearances from Gabriella Cohen, Tigertown, Tash Sultana, MOSSY, Olympia, Bec Sandridge, Ivan Ooze, Circles, Gideon Bensen, Good Boy, BANFF, Tiny Little Houses, and more.
A good number of international acts will also be making their way to Brisbane this September, including the esteemed likes of NAATIONS, Fazerdaze, Groeni, Prateek Kuhad, and Young Tapz.
“Nick and I thoroughly reviewed every single act on this lineup so far,” said co-programmer Maggie Collins. “All the acts make compelling music in their own style and are in a position to use BIGSOUND to make their mark either nationally or globally.”
“What an honor it is to facilitate that process and further strengthen the economy of contemporary Australian music.” BIGSOUND tickets are on sale now at just $75 + bf, giving you access to two nights of music across 15 beloved venues.
Running simultaneously will be the BIGSOUND conference, which brings together some of the global music industry’s most highly respected figures and experts, including a keynote from UNIFIED’s Jaddan Comerford.
