It’s not just performances though – BIGSOUND is first and foremost a music conference, and so will host daily music forums and discussions, including a keynote speech by Ben Lee, and feature industry guests including EMI Chairman Mark Poston, Jack White’s Third Man Records MD Ben Swank (US), Spotify’s Rene Chambers (UK), Lisa Hresko (US) editor of CMJ, Primavera’s David Jimenez-Zumalacarregui (Spain), C3 Presents’ Aly Ehlinger (Lollapolooza, Austin City Limits) (US), Merlin’s Charles Caldas (UK), and Grouplove managers Nicky & Ben Berger (US).
