BIGSOUND has revealed the full Goolwal Goolwal lineup for 2025 and it’s absolutely stacked
Running from 2–5 September in Fortitude Valley, the First Nations-led program is back with a killer mix of live music, panels, yarns and community vibes that make it one of the most powerful parts of the week.
Kicking things off with a Welcome to Country and Smoking Ceremony, the program dives headfirst into a packed schedule of events, performances and conversations — all centred around First Nations excellence.
Awesome Black are taking over Brunswick Street Mall with a free outdoor showcase on Tuesday 2 September, spotlighting some of the most exciting Blak artists in the country.
From genre-pushing hip hop to indie, electronic and experimental acts — it’s a proper look at what’s next.
Also on the bill: a 10-year celebration of Bad Apples Music, panels with the unstoppable BARKAA, and a must-see keynote chat between BRIGGS and Kobie Dee.
FLEWNT and FNFOCUS will shut things down with a massive block party bringing the best of Boorloo to Meanjin.

Whether it’s the grassroots energy of Bush Day Out or the late-night buzz of the Goolwal Garden, this program is built by mob, for everyone — and it’s the beating heart of BIGSOUND 2025.
Don’t sleep on it.
