BIGSOUND Festival

BIGSOUND returns to Fortitude Valley from September 2–5, transforming the precinct into a pulsing hub of live music and discovery. Alongside the BIGSOUND Conference and a curated program of BIGSOUND Conference for industry Delegate passholders, the three-night BIGSOUND Festival will showcase more than 130 of the most buzz-worthy acts currently generating huge amounts of hype around the country. A free outdoor stage will also bring the energy to the streets, making BIGSOUND 2025 one of the most immersive events on the music calendar.

The festival will transform The Valley into a multi-venue soundscape, as genre-defying sets spill from every corner – from Blute’s and Honky Tonks to Crowbar, La La Land, The Wickham, Black Bear Lodge and plenty more. One wristband unlocks it all, inviting music lovers to drift between stages, chase the buzz and uncover their next obsession.

This year’s BIGSOUND line-up speaks to the breadth of talent in the Australian music scene. Neo-soul favourite KAIIT returns with new material, globe-trotting RnB artist WAFIA plays her first hometown shows in years, indie-pop storyteller Azure Ryder arrives off a UK breakthrough and 12-year-old rapper Inkabee proves age is no barrier. They’re joined by the likes of rock ‘n’ roll force The Southern River Band, local dream-pop star Hatchie, sister duo Charlie Needs Braces, synth soloist Georgia Knight and psychedelic surf rockers LAZY GHOST, with dozens more rising names in the mix.
