BIGSOUND DROPS BIGGEST EVER FESTIVAL LINE UP

#Over 180 of the finest emerging artists in the country, including Budjerah, flowerkid, Hope D, Mia Wray, Teenage Joans, The Terrys + MORE!

Following on from a huge first announce of conference speakers, BIGSOUND is bursting at the seams to announce its biggest festival line up in celebration of its 21st birthday. With some record breaking stats, BIGSOUND has narrowed the showcasing artists down from over 1300 applications to a huge 182 artists, in an unenviable task for the festival programmers. These figures see a jump of 38 artists compared to the last in-person event in 2019.

In 2022, the incredible array of artists will perform on 23 stages, across 21 venues over 3 nights in Brisbane’s Fortitude Valley this September.

Take a deep breath as we dive in to the future of Australian music.

Mia Wray

Budjerah

BIGSOUND is thrilled to host some of Australia’s most buzz worthy acts including Adrian Dzvuke, Budjerah, flowerkid, Dallas Woods, Mia Wray and Teenage Joans who have triumphed in recent years but have not had the chance to showcase their wares on the BIGSOUND stages - until now!

There’s a huge array of artists to watch from some of the nations’ capital cities including Perth/Boorloo’s Dulcie, Ghost Care, Death by Denim and Banjo Lucia and Melbourne/Naarm’s Ashwarya, Birdz and Kee’ahn. From Sydney/Warrang comes merci, mercy, Stevan and The Rions. BIGSOUND’s home of Brisbane/Meanjin will see Hope D, Hallie, Jem Cassar-Daley, Concrete Surfers and VOIID take to the stage.

Some incredible artists will also be joining us all the way from Alice Springs to Byron Bay, Bunbury to Cairns and everywhere in between including Aodhan, BOY SODA, The Terrys, Greta Stanley, Newport and Mvllholland.

There are plenty of artists breaking the mould, like Alter Boy who make their music accessible to those who are hard of hearing by incorporating AUSLAN into their live performance.

Hope D

WIIGZ

There will be something for every genre lover too; Caroline & Claude, Molly Millington, CLOE TERARE, grentperez, Liyah Knight and Woodes will all showcase their unique style of indie pop to delegates and festival attendees. Tasman Keith, Queen P, Gold Fang and Anesu are just some of the artists bringing their rhymes to the Valley. Filling the heavy void are Five Island Drive, Future Static, Wildheart and more. Plenty of artists will be flying the flag for lovers of R&B, Soul, Jazz, World Music, Shoegaze, Electronica and Punk.

New to the festival program this year is BIGSOUND Country and leading the field across the multi-faceted world of country music is The Buckleys, DARLINGHURST, Hinterland, Loren Ryan, Melanie Dyer, Taylor Moss and The Wolfe Brothers.

The event is also thrilled to be welcoming some international artists in 2022. Joining us from our near and dear neighbours New Zealand are JessB, Soaked Oats, Troy Kingi, TE KAAHU, Church & AP, MELODOWNZ and Jenny Mitchell.
