Get ready for a BIG BIG time at Bigsound Live 2010!
Words by Scenewave Australia - Published on September 2, 2010
The Bigsound conference is coming to Brisbane!
Bigsound is the fastest-growing, most-respected meeting of musical-business-types in Asia Pacific. The top minds in the creative industry will be divulging the secrets of their success in an exciting bonanza of world-class panels, workshops and discussion groups… But who really cares?! Not me!
Big Sound
What has got me losing my mind-marbles, however, is the fact that Bigsound conference is teamed with a spectacular Bigsound live music showcase!
The showcase is set to be phenomenal, featuring 60 individual acts including some big names and a collection of exiting up-and-comers from all around Australia!

It isn’t in regular festival-type format either. Oh no… The event is being staged over two nights (Wed 8th & Thurs 9th, September) at a mass of different venues all over Fortitude Valley. Well, six different venues… suppose it isn’t really ‘a mass’ (can you tell I’m excited?)
$27.50 dollars gets you a one night pass (30 bands) and $44 dollars gets you two (60 bands, oh the value!) Patrons take their paper ticket and swap it for a magical wrist-band* that allows them to run around in and out of all the venues to their hearts content!!! Well, until 11:30pm, then you have to piss off home
Sounds like a party? You can bet your bottom dollar, come Wednesday night the valley will be humming with lovers of good, independent Aussie music. As well as a generous helping of pretentious hipster kids.
What makes it even more special is that it is ONLY happening in Brisbane! Suck it other capital cities.
