BIGSOUND Announce Second 2018 Artist Lineup

It’s been just over a month that we’ve been marinating over the first BIGSOUND artist lineup for 2018. The good people have blessed us with another stacked lineup that rounds out the festival and get ready to find your new favourite artist.

With the bill already featuring acts such as Two People, Blank Realm, CLYPSO, Elilish Gilligan, Eliott, Genesis Owusu, the festival was already set to be big. Now, we can officially say there’s been many more new names added to the bill including Demon Days, Didirri, DIET., Eliza & the Delusionals, Loose Tooth, Raave Tapes, Bad Juju and many more.

BIGSOUND lines Brisbane’s Fortitude Valley on September 4-7. It’s a celebration of music, industry and performance. It’s couple days is designed for industry folk and punters alike to discover the freshest crop of Australian talent—those who will eventually be plucked for Splendour’s main stage, no doubt.

Earlier this year, organisers announced some changes to BIGSOUND’s format. The biggest change of all is putting the attendees in the front lines of the conversation during BIGSOUND’s conferences. While you’ll still get to hear from the some of the country’s biggest tastemakers and innovators of the music industry, a new forum-style conversation will be introduced—designed to bring more people together through discussion.

BIGSOUND is also bringing in a new “call-in” culture, as they put it—an initiative to welcome people of all walks of life and contribute to the annual celebration of music. This inclusivity will also come in the way of an importance towards the First Nations people of the Australian music industry. BIGSOUND 2018 will open with a welcome event on Tuesday afternoon which will put Indigenous music front and centre of the BIGSOUND experience. Organisers hope this initiative will unify the music industry.

BIGSOUND tickets are also on sale now. For more information on the event, visit their official website HERE.
