BIGSOUND 2022 Reveals Full Conference And Festival Schedule

BIGSOUND has unveiled the official schedule for its upcoming industry conference and music festival. The news comes just one week after the announcement of another round of speakers for the 2022 conference.

BIGSOUND has expanded even further, adding more than 50 influential industry figures and deal-brokers to the event program. This includes representatives from Apple Music, triple j, Hopeless Records, X Ray Touring, Warner Music, and more.

BIGSOUND 2022 will be its first in-person event since 2019

The team from Apple Music will be visiting Australia from California to demonstrate what has been dubbed “the future of sound”: Spatial Audio with Dolby Atmos.

The festival’s late-night secret shows are also set to return, presented by Amazon Music. Specific lineup details are yet to be announced, but organisers have teased they’ll be “worth staying up way later than you should”.

Set to take place at various locations in Brisbane’s Fortitude Valley from Tuesday, 6th until Friday, 9th September, BIGSOUND’s 21st birthday celebration will spotlight over 180 artists, including Clea and WILSN, who join the bill thanks to triple j Unearthed.

The full conference and festival schedule is available now via the BIGSOUND website, along with full ticketing details and information regarding specific speakers, events, and artists.
