UPDATE: BIGSOUND have just added the church, Seekae, SAFIA, Jeremy Neale and more to its Live lineup. Scroll below for the recently added acts.

BIG SOUND organisers have this morning revealed the names of more than 80 acts which will play the festival and conference in September.

Among those named include: Gold Fields, DMA’s, Holy Holy, BAD//DREEMS, Client Liaison, KINGSWOOD and REMI, who are all set to play in front of both industry and punters in a celebration of live Australian music.

They will be joined at the festival, which takes place September 10 and 11, by Seekae, Deep Sea Arcade, Thelma Plum, HITS, Sampology ft Tom Thum & Jordan Rakei, Blank Realm, D.D Dumbo, Fractures and Ash Grunwald.

This year will see the site expanded north to include venues like The Underdog, Crowbar, The Elephant and The New Globe, as well as welcoming a new outdoor venue behind Brightside and Magic City.

“The diversity and talent in BIGSOUND’s line-up gets richer and deeper each year,” said programmer Nick O’Byrne. “With more 80 artists still to be announced there’s no doubt that those two nights in September will be the single best festival of new Australian music we’ve ever had”.
