Australia’s biggest new music party is back, and the 2025 BIGSOUND lineup is absolutely stacked
From September 2–5, Fortitude Valley will erupt with the sounds of over 120 artists, including neo-soul queen KAIIT, global R&B star WAFIA, UK breakout Azure Ryder, and 12-year-old hip hop prodigy Inkabee.
BIGSOUND is known for spotlighting the next wave of music legends (we’re talking Tones And I, Flume, King Gizz) and this year’s roster feels like a glimpse into the future.
From punk to pop, folk to electronica, it’s a genre-diverse buffet curated by Festival Programmers Casey O’Shaughnessy and Katie Rynne, who clearly had their ears tuned to something special.
With 18 stages, three massive nights (or just one, if you’re picky), and Brisbane/Magandjin’s entire Valley as your playground, BIGSOUND promises another choose-your-own-adventure-style week of musical discovery.
🎟️ Tickets on sale Friday June 13. Early birds start at $79 (or $65 if you’re under 25).
Let the countdown begin.
