Scouted is a fantastic event that gives unsigned artists the chance to perform live in front of labels, managers and industry personnel from across the country.
“Scouted grows every year, and every year more delegates make the time to see our brilliant emerging talent,” MusicSA’s CEO Christine Schloithe said in a statement.
“We can’t emphasise enough just how important this annual showcase is – it’s connected to an important national music industry conference that takes place in Adelaide, it attracts prominent industry heavyweights to see our local talent and it can be a vital launchpad for artists that are ready to break-through and be noticed. We are delighted to share this year’s Scouted line-up with you!”
The night of live music takes place on the final day of Indie-Con Australia, a three-day conference held at The Mercury Cinema from Wednesday 31 July until Friday 2 August.
This year’s Indie-Con Australia features over 80 speakers from over 50 countries, including Oscar Dawson (Holy Holy, producer), Maria Amato (CEO of AIR) and Ash Hills (Unified General manager).
