BIGSOUND 2016 have today dropped the full schedule of their 2016 event including the event times for the September event via the official BIGSOUND app.
Oragnisers of the event have also released the conference program, which includes 80 new speakers such as Merlin’s Charles Caldas, Vinyl Me Please’s Cameron Schaefer, artist Sarah Blasko, Indonesian promoter Sarah Deshita, Double J’s Myf Warhurst, triple j’s Ollie Wards, Today Show music producer Sarah Mason, Sony/ATVs Craig Hawker and many, many more.
The lo-fi anti-folk hero Kimya Dawson is also a last-minute addition to the list of speakers. Best known as one half of the Moldy Peaches, Dawson has carved a career out of her quirky and enthralling pop songs, with the 2007 film Juno and its accompanying soundtrack exposing her to a much wider audience.
The famed music industry gathering takes place from September 7th to the 9th in Brisbane’s iconic Fortitude Valley. Recently, Tone Deaf announced the full lineup for the BIGSOUND festival portion of the event.
Now, with the full list of speakers and musicians released to the public, it’s time for those with tickets to start planning their time at the event.
