Brisbane’s Bigsound music festival has upped its line-up to 133 acts.

Bigsound will play out over four nights across 18 venues in the city.

“The quality of new and Australian music is currently exemplified by how hard it was to choose these artists out of approximately 1070 applications,” said BIGSOUND Festival programmer Maggie Collins. “Every single artist on this lineup has something unique to showcase and to achieve. I’m frothing over these acts and can’t wait to show them off.”

Bigsound is on September 5-8 in Brisbane.
