The new Music+Design program – part of BigSound – has announced a huge bill of speakers, headed up by Nick Cave, who will be delivering a keynote speech via satellite.
Also speaking will be artpop band Regurgitator, director Natasha Pincus, who was behind the videos for Gotye's Somebody That I Used To Know and Missy Higgins' Everyone's Waiting, and photographer Tony Mott.
Music+Design will also host the Artisan Beer+Design showcase: music, design, and Australia’s top craft beers, which seems like the perfect marriage to us.
Music+Design is accessible via its own ticket, plus included with all BIGSOUND delegate passes. Registrations are open now.
