We’ve turned the corner and are now weeks away from BIGSOUND 2016; three days and nights of live music, partying and hopefully, little regrets from the night before.

For those holding BIGSOUND conference passes, Tuesday night is going to be hectic as well, with official pre-BIGSOUND parties going off right around the Valley. Pandora and Mushroom will be hosting their own on Tuesday night, while if you’re game to continue going at lunchtime on Wednesday, CAAMA and the Sunshine Coast Creative Alliance have your back with parties of their own. We’ll be bringing you a guide to what parties are going on where ahead of the festival in case this is your first rodeo at BIGSOUND – plenty to see!
Tickets for the BIGSOUND festival are still available from $45, plus booking fees. To start planning your time in Brisbane (September 7th – 9th), head to www.bigsound.org.au.
