Gang Of Youths: ‘in the wake of your leave’
Last year more than 180 artists presented their wares at BIGSOUND, including acts like Teenage Dads, Alter Boy, Babitha, Beckah Amani, JACOTENE, and Mia Wray. Looking further back, artists such as Tash Sultana, Gang of Youths, and The Jungle Giants have all made BIGSOUND appearances.
The speaker lineup for the conference is still a way off yet, but the 2022 edition featured activist Turana Burke, viral sensation and hyperpop artist Rebecca Black, artist and activist Jaguar Jonze, and CEO of Mushroom Matt Gudinski. Programming is being once again helmed by Tom Larkin from Tiny Triumphs Artist Management, and Ruby-Jean McCabe and Dom Miller from Sunroom.
