The Big Mates look to the future of the podcast by kicking off a tournament to decide the artist covered in the next season of What Is Music?Having recently solicited suggestions from listeners, Adam, Steve, and Lucas reveal the results and offer up their picks for the forthcoming competition.The artists in each “region” will be paired up to fight, the winners of which will go head-to-head so each region has one champion. Those champions will then duke it out to decide the one, final winner, who we will commit to covering in either the next season, or the one after. The matches will be voted on by you, our listeners via polls on twitter, instagram, and Facebook. They will last 24 hours from midday every Friday starting this week! Follow the links below to our socials!Who have the Big Mates picked? Who have the listeners picked? Who is music?
