BIGSOUND Venue Focus: Woolly Mammoth

Answered by: Uda Widanapathirana

Address: 633 Ann Street, Fortitude Valley

There's a lot going on around town when BIGSOUND is on - how will you stand out from the crowd? The Official After Party on Thursday is always one for the books. Aside from music - great craft beer, shuffleboard, Bocce courts and Connect Four - come unwind.

Is there a different vibe when people watch gigs during BIGSOUND as opposed to a gig you'd have on a normal week? How so? Hawks throughout BIGSOUND and seagulls every other day of the week. 

What industry lessons would you like to take away from the BIGSOUND conference? How to successfully nurture and cater to different genres of music that have not reached commercial viability in the broader scheme of live music. 

What makes Brisbane the best place to host BIGSOUND? As many have said before, the proximity of venues in our blessed Valley.

What acts are you looking forward to checking out that are at your venue while BIGSOUND is on? At Woolly I'm looking forward to Gregor, Rebel Yell, 100%, FOREVR, Alice Ivy, Anatole and Sparkspitter.
