The southern hemisphere’s biggest new music festival and industry gathering BIGSOUND is back for its 20th year in Brisbane from Tuesday the 7th to Thursday the 9th of September.
The music industry’s leading players will gather at the BIGSOUND Conference to grapple with the big issues, laying out a roadmap for a future that addresses: changing industry and audience dynamics, post-COVID business transition, gender equality and safety, cultural change, inclusivity and innovation, international economics and domestic politics.
Some 150 artists, including a contingent of New Zealand acts, showcase their talent at the BIGSOUND Festival in venues across the festival in the Fortitude Valley live music precinct from Tuesday - Thursday night with special events including the BIGSOUND First Nations Showcase.
Applications for artists to perform are now open and close at 11:59pm on Friday 28 May. To apply head to https://www.bigsound.org.au/music-festival/apply.
