Other new speakers include the minds behind the women-focused music history doco Her Sound, Her Story, Claudia Sangiorgi Dalimore and Michelle Grace Hunter, Beyond the Valley director Nick Greco, The Go-Betweens drummer and social activist Lindy Morrison, independent artist and music director Yeo, and that’s just to name a few.

This year will also provide standout performances, including the latest addition to the Milk! Records family member Hachiku, who will be opening up the conference, experimental heavy act Party Dozen and chill rock band The Ocean Party.

They’ll be joining highlight speakers and artists Ariel Pink, Marky Ramone, Anika Mottershaw, and Bjørn Pfarr.
