Every September the bars and venues across Fortitude Valley in Brisbane get packed with music industry personnel, media and passionate music lovers to watch some of the best upcoming Australian and global acts. These thirty minute showcases allow emerging and established artists to preview new material as well as play to some of the most influential names in the industry. In 2018 the festival portion of the event returns with a three day format that will see you being able to purchase day specific tickets, 3 night tickets or a full conference and music pass. The conference has announced that this year the panels are going to be a little different and focus on inclusivity with more open discussions. Their first speaker announcement came last month with a big list of names including Dave Grohl’s mum. Yes, thats right! And now the festival have just announced their first epic line up which boasts an exciting list of 75 acts including Ella Hooper, Paces, Kota Banks, Eilish Gilligan and CXLOE.
