What the Ekka is to rural Queensland BIGSOUND is to Brisbane’s music scene, and we are on the cusp once again of that most wondrous of weeks in Fortitude Valley. BIGSOUND Live tickets for both nights are still on sale for any fence-sitters, but for those who have been on mi goreng for the past four days, there are plenty of cheap and free BIGSOUND parties around this week. There are so many, in fact, that you may be offered free beer to show your pretty face.
