About Us

THE BIGGEST
WEEK
IN MUSIC

The Southern Hemisphere's largest music industry gathering. Every September, Brisbane.

#Born in Brisbane Heard by the world

Back in 2002, Queensland music industry body QMusic had a vision: give Australian artists a proper stage in front of the people who actually matter - labels, bookers, publishers, and tastemakers from around the globe.

What started as a scrappy music showcase has grown into a multi-day festival + industry conference that shapes the future of Australian music every single year. Think day sessions with heavy-hitting speakers, night shows packed with 150 up-and-coming acts across Fortitude Valley's legendary live music strip.

They call it "The Biggest Week in Australian Music." It's not hype - it's a fact.
