BIGSOUND Acts Pick Their Must-see BIGSOUND Act
BIGSOUND 2022 is just around the corner and who better to give you a tip on what artists to see, than the artists themselves! We've recruited some of our favourites this year to let you in on who's going to wow the crowd at BIGSOUND 2022.
PLATONIC SEX
Ryan Hammermeister (Drummer)
Noah Dillion is my must-see BIGSOUND artist. While on tour with Hope D, watching Noah and his band support after us was always powerful, emotional and made me smile, and I just want everyone to see and hear the music they play! And their NEW ALBUM ROCKZ.

FUTURE STATIC
Amariah Cook (Vocalist)
I have a couple of favourites but my top band is most definitely Teenage Joans. Saw them absolutely take over the crowd and own the stage at Unify Forever this year. The Last Martyr are the next band that I couldn't recommend seeing more highly. They put on an energetic and exciting show every single time, definitely some of the most hardworking and talented performers I've ever met. Third on my list are KEYAN: I haven't seen them before but I enjoy a few of their songs on Spotify and am very keen to see how much they go off live!

GHOST CARE
Luke Del Fante (Drummer)
Phoebe Go has been on my radar for a big chunk of this year. I discovered them through a friend a few months ago and have been listening on repeat. I feel like they've hit this really cool balance between melancholy and catchy hooks. It'll be great to catch them on the BIGSOUND bill!

CONCRETE SURFERS
Jovi (Lead Singer & Guitarist)
For me, I'd have to say it's OK HOTEL. Their songwriting is next to none and they're all so lovely. Josh routinely lends us gear when we are touring down south for shows!

There are so many artists it's impossible to narrow down to one! But we're all very excited to see Mia Wray perform.

Her live set will be a must-see for sure!
