BIGSOUND unveils its bumper 2025 line-up of new generation artists
We're yearning for Spring and here's a big sniff of it: BIGSOUND is gearing up to take over Meanjin/Brisbane's Fortitude Valley with an absolute smorgasbord of music from more than 120 artists.
The annual music discovery conference and festival is the perfect place to refresh your playlists, find some new favourite bands, check out who's on the rise and rub shoulders with some of the music industry (if that's your thing).
WAFIA, Kaiit, INKABEE, Azure Rider, The Southern River Band and Hatchie are among the featured artists at BIGSOUND this year - each of them coming in off the back of big years that include things like world tours, supporting big artists, playing international festivals, award wins and stints on America's Got Talent .
BIGSOUND's whole line-up spans the whole genre spectrum of music, from rolling country to crunchy electronic music. Whether you're a pop girlie or love to open up the pit at hardcore gigs (or both!) you'll be bound to find something at the festival that you'll fall in love with.
With 18 stages littered across the Valley, BIGSOUND is truly turning Brissy into a music head's playground at the start of September.
Tickets for this year's multi-day musical bonanza are on sale at 9am on Friday 13 June, and you can grab tickets to one or three days of music, or go all-in for the full industry conference experience. Check out the BIGSOUND website for more info.
Suss the full line-up below and get ready to head north for spring!

Influencer's ‘entitled' supermarket act enrages onlookers
In the age of TikTok, influencers are known for their rather unique content creation methods, but one recent video has left onlookers really scratching their heads. The clip, which has gone viral, features influencer Meliss Milan taste-testing a Pandan cake in the fridge section of a Woolworths, while a bemused shopper attempts to grab an item from the shelf she's blocking. Ms Milan took to the video sharing platform to share her latest product find with her followers. 'I am obsessed with Pandan,' she declared, holding up the cake for the camera. 'I got this Pandan Swiss cake, so we're going to give it a go.' As she unwrapped the packaging, she explained, 'I am inside Woolies as we came to get a chocolate mudcake too'. Ms Milan's taste test began with her describing the cake as 'very coconutty, creamy,' and 'so light'. However, her review was cut short when a man, clearly on a mission to grab his own dessert, interrupted her. Ms Milan awkwardly smiled at the camera before stepping aside, allowing the shopper to reach for his item. The onlooker's perspective Meanwhile, another shopper, @codah_h, captured the scene from a distance, dubbing it an 'influencer in real life'. His video shows Ms Milan with her phone propped up against the fridge railing, filming herself in selfie mode. An older man, visibly puzzled, attempts to navigate around her to access the products. 'Of all the places to make a video,' @codah_h remarked, adding in the comments, 'I'm appalled at you being in this man's way when he was just trying to get some dessert'. People weigh in The video was immediately flooded with comments, with many expressing their second-hand embarrassment. 'This is so embarrassing! How is she not embarrassed?' one person questioned. Another added, 'Yeah there's a time and a place … And this isn't it'. 'She couldn't wait until she got home?' one person asked, while others labelled the situation as 'cooked', 'entitled', and 'cringe'. A particularly irked commenter noted, 'It's common KNOWLEDGE to maybe not record in a public place where people need to be able to grab things?' Others empathised with the other shopper, saying, 'Get out of that poor man's way,' and 'I dislike when people are in my way while they're SHOPPING. This would next level irritate me'. Defence for the influencer Despite the backlash, the influencer had her defenders. 'To be fair, she didn't see him … and she moved as soon as he came up to her. You're acting like she stayed in his way after noticing him. It's not that deep,' one person argued. Another chimed in, 'All she was doing was recording a video, harmless. What's embarrassing is all the people jumping on the hate train, not her'. Finally, one fan eloquently encouraged Ms Milan to 'Stay unbothered queen'.

‘Wardrobe Staple': $69 The Iconic Buy Aussies Are Frothing Over
Every so often, a piece of clothing will reach that peak cult status and be instantly recognisable whenever it's worn. The Lioness Bloom Long Sleeve Top is one such buy. In just the last week, sales have increased by a huge 410 per cent week-on-week across all colourways at THE ICONIC. Spotted on global content creators including Danielle Bernstein (WeWoreWhat), Devin Brugman, and Paige Lorenze among others, the T-shirt has well and truly reached cult status. It may look like every other striped top but it's in the little details that really make this top stand out. 'The Lioness Bloom Long Sleeve Top stands out as the perfect balance between comfort and a trend-led style,' Nicole Adolphe, Head of Style at THE ICONIC, tells checkout. 'It's a versatile wardrobe staple that feels elevated yet effortless,' she says. Plus, she points out that at just $69, it's incredibly accessible. Considering it's something shoppers will most likely wear on-repeat, the cost per wear is sure to be incredibly low. 'The top's popularity is no doubt boosted by Lioness' cult following and its signature 'cool girl' aesthetic, which continues to resonate strongly with THE ICONIC's customers,' Nicole points out. HOW CAN YOU STYLE THE LIONESS BLOOM LONG SLEEVE TOP? The Bloom Long Sleeve Top is seriously the ultimate winter must-have and according to Nicole, it can be worn in so many ways. 'We love it paired back with oversized denim, a classic leather belt, chunky loafers, and a slouchy shoulder bag,' she says. 'For those lucky enough to be heading to Europe this summer, it's the perfect lightweight layer to throw over a bikini with micro shorts and a pair of flip flops.' WHICH COLOUR SHOULD A SHOPPER BUY? Nicole says her top pick would be the beige stripe. 'This buttery tone is the newest must-have in a neutral wardrobe, and it pairs beautifully with a wide range of colours. 'The contrast between the black and beige gives it a chic, effortless feel that's eye-catching without being overpowering, making it a smart and stylish choice for the season.'
