Australia’s biggest new music event BIGSOUND dropped the mic today, with the full list of performing artists revealed alongside a sneak peek into the official parties and exclusive events on offer across four days of musical celebrations from September 4-7 in Brisbane’s Fortitude Valley Live Music Precinct.
BIGSOUND welcomes sets from Didirri, CLEWS, Arno Faraji, San Mei, Bad Juju, Robbie Miller and many more, joining the 75 acts already announced to create an Aussie aural assault of 139 new Australian acts for the over 100 buyers, speakers and talent scouts from across the globe who are descending on Brisbane to discover.
BIGSOUND will again help launch international careers, like previous alumni Flume, Courtney Barnett, RUFUS, Tash Sultana, The Jezabels, Middle Kids, Gang of Youths, DMAs, The Temper Trap, DZ Deathrays and so many more with the $100,000 Levi’s® Music Prize back to help make success a reality for this year’s cohort. Providing $25,000 each to four showcasing artists, plus $5,000 to each winning artist from Stage & Screen to get them on their way in 2018, the program has already helped 2017 acts Stella Donnelly, Alex Lahey, Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever and Hatchie get overseas to fly the flag for Australian music.
