Brisbane’s BIGSOUND has just released it’s 2015 line up, and continues it’s reputation as an incubator for the strongest up and coming Australian acts. The Brisbane festival attracts visitors from around the world, all hoping to stumble across the next big thing. Previous years have seen the likes of Courtney Barnett, Seth Sentry and the Temper Trap on their rise to great success, and this year promises some more big unveilings.
The huge first announcement includes Stonefield, Muscles, Gang of Youths, Holy Holy, Katy Steele (pictured), City Calm Down, Grenadiers, Ayla, Jesse Davidson, Cosmic Psychos, High Tension, The John Steel Singers, to name a few. The event spans genres and showcases the latest buzz bands, as well as those yet to be talked about.
The event will host over 140 acts and takes place over two nights on September 9 and 10 in fourteen venues across Brisbane’s Fortitude Valley. As chaotic as it is exciting, it’s not easy to catch so many bands over such a short amount of time – once the full schedule is revealed, we highly recommend getting those planners out!
Tickets are on sale from Monday 22nd of June with a pre-sale for those wise enough to check out the event last year from June 19th.
