BIGSOUND Festival 2018
I literally landed in Australia from Vietnam the day BIGSOUND started but I was so ready to get straight back into Aussie music culture. The first evening of BigSound made QLD feel more like the soggy state, but a bit (A LOT) of rain did not dampen my mood. Every year I look forward to getting to run around Fortitude Valley between my favourite venues in Brisbane City for BIGSOUND 2018 listening to and seeing for the first time live, very talented musicians.
