BIGSOUND 2013

Overview

Let's do some quick math. 120 bands, 12 venues, two nights. If my basic addition is correct, these all equal one heck of a good time.

BIGSOUND is massive. Whether you are a member of Australia’s booming music industry or just a regular music fan, BIGSOUND has something for you. Hailed as Australia’s answer to SXSW, BIGSOUND is a music conference with a bit of bite. Located in our very own entertainment precinct, Fortitude Valley, this music gathering is a place to swap ideas, make contacts and see some of Australia’s best up-and-coming bands.

While the music conference might not be for everyone, the Live Showcase is going to be off the proverbial chain. 12 of Brisbane’s best live venues are hosting two nights of great live music. New bands, old bands, great bands – there is something here that everyone can enjoy.

Some of the musicians on display are:

Billy Bragg (pictured), Robert Forster, Regurgitator ,Megan Washington, The John Steel Singers, Melbourne Ska Orchestra, Darren Middleton, Natalie Pa’apa’a of Blue King Brown, Gossling, Yukon Blonde, The Jungle Giants, Calling All Cars, Stonefield, Chance Waters, Bleeding Knees Club and loads more.

Whoa, that’s a lot of talent.

BIGSOUND is happening all over town from Tuesday the 10th, to Friday the 13th.
