Brisbane’s BIGSOUND music conference has added a staggering 80 new names to its already mammoth line up, with Spit Syndicate, Kingswood and Jonti all joining the bill to play in the Fortitude Valley over the weekend of 11th-13th September.
BIGSOUND will see the newcomers join acts like Xavier Rudd, Washington and The John Steel Singers, who will all be getting their live performance on over 12 venues, as well as industry talks from English artist and activist Billy Bragg, queen of Kickstarter Amanda Palmer and Aussie acts Regurgitator and Kasey Chambers.
The conference will also be running its first ever music and design program at this year’s event with Grammy Award-winner Rob Jones, known for his poster and cover art for The White Stripes, heading up the industry leaders speaking about the places where design and music intersect.
BIGSOUND takes places over 11th-13th September and tickets are available now through their website.
