BigSound has revealed its first artist announcement for 2016.
This is the 15th year for BigSound and first for new programmer Maggie Collins.
“Nick and I thoroughly reviewed every single act on this lineup so far,” said co-programmer Maggie Collins. “All the acts make compelling music in their own style and are in a position to use BIGSOUND to make their mark either nationally or globally. What an honor it is to facilitate that process and further strengthen the economy of contemporary Australian music.”
The BigSound Festival takes place in Brisbane’s Fortitude Valley for three nights on September 7th, 8th & 9th.
