By: Christie Eliezer BIGSOUNDBIGSOUND, Adelaide Guitar Festival Returning After going virtual last year, major conference and showcase BIGSOUND returns to Brisbane in a physical form this September, while July’s Adelaide Guitar Festival becomes an annual event. – With a reputation for highlighting export-ready acts and drawing international delegates set for deal-making, BIGSOUND stages Sept. 7-9 in the Fortitude Valley entertainment precinct. In 2019, it injected A$2.99 million ($2.30 million) into the Brisbane economy. There will be digital options for those who can’t attend in person. Kicking off with Indigenous Showcase and Women In Music events, the conference discusses changing industry and audience dynamics, post-COVID business transition, cultural change, inclusivity and innovation, gender equality and safety, international economics and domestic politics.
