Face The Music is one of the most revered music industry summits in Australia, bringing together great minds from varied facets of the music community. For their 2016 incarnation, organisers have locked in a panel of speakers who are at the forefront of their fields, boldly going where none have gone before.
As part of the first announcement, heavyweights include the internet’s biggest music nerd, Anthony Fantano, alongside Andrew Jervis of the Bandcamp Weekly podcast, Ricki Askin, who is the Head of Music Licensing & Archival at VICE Media and legendary triple j host Zan Rowe.
There are also speakers from record labels Sacred Bones, Remote Control and Night High Records, in addition to the Music Director for Meredith Music Festival and Golden Plains, Woody McDonald, and Vivid Sydney festival curator Ben Marshall.
To cap it off, there will be appearances from Nai Palm of Hiatus Kaiyote and Robert Forster of the Go-Betweens. This year will also see Face The Music incorporating live performances for the first time, from both old favourites and young guns blazing the trail.
It’s all going down over Thursday November 17 and Friday November 18, tickets available via the Face The Music website.
