BIGSOUND 2025
BIGSOUND 2025 | Brisbane | 2-5 September
Australia’s biggest celebration of new music and industry innovation returns this September. BIGSOUND brings together emerging talent, leading voices, and the people who power live events to connect, share knowledge, and shape the future of our industry.
We are proud to an Official Industry Partner of BIGSOUND this year and to play an active role in the schedule across various events and conversations.
This year the BIGSOUND Schedule includes a discussion around the role and importance of crew within the music industry. You Can’t Stage It Without Us: The Real Need for Crew places a spotlight on those that work behind the scenes.
Our Sales Director, Melanie Kennedy will be a part of the panel, discussing the challenges faced by those who work behind the scenes - how we create pathways and future proof live event resources. As a prelude to this panel we will also be hosting a networking lunch to kickstart the conversation about The Real Need For Crew.
Behind every show are the skilled, hardworking crew who make it all happen. They are the backbone of live events - relied upon for their experience, expertise, and ability to deliver under pressure.
This session dives into the urgent challenges facing our sector:
The critical shortage of skilled crew
Pathways into the industry for new talent
Barriers that prevent newcomers from breaking through
Speaking of those behing the scenes, we are also excited to be hosting the Association of Artist Managers (AAM) BIGSOUND Breakfast for the 3rd year running. This gathering has become such an anticipated event for our team - not just because we can catch up and meet with the artist managers we work with day-to-day, but that it's always such a great reminder of how much we all rely on our peers and each other in this industry.
Our team will be on the ground in Brisbane all week including our International and Domestic Freight teams who raise Carnets, and move everything from a road case to a charter aircraft to make the show happen.
