BIGSOUND 2025 Reveals Full Artist Lineup
More than 120 artists set to showcase as part of this year’s BIGSOUND lineup have been unveiled.
The lineup shines a spotlight on some of the most exciting emerging talent from Australia and Aotearoa, with showcases happening September 2nd–5th in Brisbane’s Fortitude Valley.
From Australia, keep an eye on Brisbane’s indie-pop singer Hatchie, soulful vocalist George Alice from South Australia, Perth punk band Heyzuko!, and Queensland’s rising star Jet Walker.
Aotearoa also brings a strong presence, with dream-pop act Phoebe Rings, surfy indie group Coast Arcade, dancefloor magnets Flamingo Pier, pop-rock band Borderline, and Auckland-based post-punk band Ringlets all crossing the ditch.
“Curating this year’s program has been such a joy — the artists we’ve selected reflect the incredible depth of talent in Australia, and each one is doing truly exciting things with their music. We’re so proud of this group and can’t wait to see them bring the Fortitude Valley to life in September,” share BIGSOUND Music Programmers Casey O’Shaughnessy and Katie Rynne.
“We also want to extend a heartfelt thank you to every single artist who applied. We were genuinely blown away by the quality, creativity and diversity of submissions — it made the selection process incredibly tough, in the best possible way. There’s so much talent out there, and while we couldn’t include everyone this year, we recognise the heart you put into your music, and we’re excited for what lies ahead for you.”
