Kelis to deliver keynote at BIGSOUND 2024

American R&B legend Kelis will deliver a keynote address at BIGSOUND 2024.

The multi-Platinum artist promises an “honest conversation on the importance of being authentic and her fearless approach to transformation”, and joins a lineup that features Amy Taylor from Amyl & The Sniffers, UK artist Elijah, A&R rep Korda Marshall, and Elliott Lefko from AEG/Goldenvoice USA / Coachella.

“The cross section of global industry that will be on ground is a testament to BIGSOUND as a vehicle for connecting artists locally and internationally, and we recognise that in 2024 the need for this is greater than ever,” said conference programmer Tom Larkin.

BIGSOUND will go ahead in Brisbane’s Fortitude Valley from 3-6 September, with early-bird passes available now for $629 – or $379 for students.

Festival-only tickets will go on sale in June.
