A number of more established acts will also perform at BIGSOUND 2025, including electronic/R&B artist WAFIA, neo-soul artist Kaiit, dream pop artist Hatchie, singer-songwriter Azure Ryder, and 12-year-old hip hop artist Inkabee.
There’ll also be performances from indie-R&B artist KYE, pop-rock band Eliza & the Delusionals, post-punk artist Spike Fuck, pop and hip hop artist REDD., future soul artist Tiana Khasi, rock quartet The Southern River Band, and loads more. Find the complete list below.
