With a whopping 89 acts ready to descend on Brisbane’s Fortitude Valley this September, and a stack more still to come, Bigsound 2016 is going to be one heck of a celebration.
The annual music conference has already garnered a reputation as being the place in Australia for tastemakers and music lovers alike to get a glimpse of the next big things in the country’s music scene, and just a quick rifle through the lineup proves exactly that.
With acts including Sampa The Great, Alex Lahey, Wallace, Gabriella Cohen, Tigertown, Tash Sultana, BANFF, Tiny Little Houses and Owen Rabbit all taking the stage across the festival’s three days, as well asinternational visitors including Naations, Fazerdaze, Groeni and Prateek Kuhad, Brisbane doesn’t seem like a bad place to get to.
The festival will feature 150 acts across 15 venues, as well as an industry conference including Unified’s Jaddan Comerford, Conan O’Brien booker Jim Pitt, film music supervisor Marcy Bulkeley (Independence Day 2, Jurassic World) and Universal Publishing’s Taylor Testa.
Bigsound will take over Brisbane’s Fortitude Valley from Wednesday September 7 until Friday September 9. Tickets to both the conference and festival are on sale now.
