This year’s BIGSOUND has expanded once more, adding 50+ new speakers on the day it announces its festival and conference schedule.
Taking place from Tuesday, 3 to Friday, 6 September, BIGSOUND has locked in a coup with Tones And I to present a Keynote In Conversation with ABC personality Myf Warhurst.
Other highlights of the new additions include Fred Leone delivering a Keynote about honouring his role as the custodian of traditional songs of the Butchulla tribe, Simone Ubaldi and Andrew Parisi hosting an In Conversation called Sniffing Out Gold that follows the discovery and development of Amyl & The Sniffers (the band’s vocalist, Amy Taylor, is also delivering a Keynote at this year’s BIGSOUND), and more.
Additional In Conversation presentations will come from Glenn McDonald, author and former “Data Alchemist” of Spotify, founder, programmer, and producer of the Every Noise At Once website, and ABC’s Head of Music, Emily Copeland. Triple j’s Nick Findlay, Ash McGregor, and Lucy Smith will also appear at the conference.
Plus, The Music’s own Ellie Robinson is appearing as a speaker alongside Tim Blunt. The pair founded the initiative spotlighting LGBTQIA+ voices, TRANSGENRE, launching the project last year with a sold-out festival, the first ever in Australia to feature an entirely gender-non-conforming line-up.
Below is the full line-up for BIGSOUND 2024, including showcase artists, speakers and buyers, and keynote speakers. You can also view the three-night music festival schedule here and the stacked conference program here.
