QMusic’s BIGSOUND is a gathering of the Australian music industry and all of the bands, bosses, icons, industry folk, movers and shakers it has to offer. Our nation’s own answer to Austin, Texas’ esteemed SXSW, it sees over 100+ bands play across 12 stages over two tune-filled nights. But even if you’re lucky enough to find yourself in Brisbane’s Fortitude Valley as BIGSOUND takes over the city, how are you going to make heads or tails of that daunting list of acts? Never fear, Tone Deaf is here to help with our top picks of the must-see acts – handily broken into one act per venue across those 12 stages, for both Wednesday and Thursday night. Grab your diary – here we go!
