Discover the future of music at BIGSOUND – Australia’s festival of new music and international music industry conference.

For 3 days every September, a unique combination of musicians, music lovers and industry experts from across the globe assemble in Brisbane’s Fortitude Valley to explore the challenges of our ever-evolving industry, build new relationships and experience the next wave of music from Australia and beyond.

BIGSOUND is where the world discovers Australian music. Its 15th incarnation in 2016 promises to deliver the same atmosphere of innovation and togetherness that has come to define its place in the international music industry calendar. Fortitude Valley’s entertainment precinct is transformed into a village playground, its unique density of live music venues and conference facilities enabling seamless access to the full range of conference and showcase content on offer.

By day, BIGSOUND’s conference program features internationally significant keynote speakers and challenging, cutting-edge workshop topics. At sundown, delegates mix with Brisbane’s music-loving public in a 15-venue frenzy of live music discovery, and it’s here that most of the real networking happens.
