The countdown is on! Brisbane’s premier music event BIGSOUND is less than two weeks away and it’s time to start preparing. Over two nights (9-10 September), Brisbane’s Fortitude Valley will play host to 150 artists playing across 15 venues, showcasing the best up-and-coming acts from Australia and abroad.
The Brisbane music scene is well represented, with over 30 of the 150 BIGSOUND acts hailing from the sunshine state. Here’s five Brisbane acts we recommend you see at BIGSOUND 2015:
With catchy pop-rock tunes that will get stuck in your head, Babaganouj are sure to entertain at this year’s BIGSOUND. Their latest single Can’t Stop is one you can easily listen to on repeat.

Ayla’s 2014 debut single Wish I Was became Triple J’s most played song by any solo female artist. Her recently released second single Waiting delivers more of her signature indie-pop sound and will leave you hanging out to hear her upcoming EP.
