BIGSOUND 2025 Night 3 highlights, Fortitude Valley, Sept 4
BIGSOUND 2025 has come and gone, and through a flurry of showcases, we were able to get our photographer, Ross Jenkins (aka @founding_photos) to try and capture as much as he could on night 3 (Thursday night). Now for those that have been to BIGSOUND, you will know how hard it is to dash between showcases, line-up (particularly for the buzz bands), take in as much as you can, then move on to the next one. So, kudos to Ross for getting in as much of night 3 as humanly possible (catching The Southern River Band, Darcie Haven, Heartline, Rageflower, Sleepazoid, and Ruby Fields).

One of Australia’s best alt rock outfits, Perth’s Sly Withers are travelling the countryside in slaying stages and melting hearts with their distinct brand of emo-tinged Aussie rock, particularly with their latest release, ‘Make My Mind Up’. They hit the well-worn Solbar (Maroochydore) stage on November 14, with supports Phil and the Blanks (making their live debut), and well-hyped (and rightly so) young locals, Speira. We sent Ross Jenkins (aka @founding_photos) to capture all the glory.
