Primed to pop, we’ve prepared a cheat sheet of the best free agents to catch live at BIGSOUND in 2023, covering the gamut of taste and genre below.

Celebrate our angel numbers with us at Up Late and Unsigned: an evening of new music discovery and varying degrees of representation across management, publicity and bookings. We’re shining a light on our roster together with like-minded female-run, independent businesses Our Golden Friend and Collective Artists as part of the Amazon Music After Hours series.
