It's the buzz, the hype, the rising thumpthump of the heartbeat of the city, an adrenaline needle straight to the chest. It's a meeting of the minds. A summit for the ages. K2 for the rhythm crowd. Poets write of halls of power, but here all walls are torn down, all doors flung open, a world of musical knowledge pumped straight out onto the streets.

It's Face The Music. Back and bolder than ever for the 10th year in a row. A big milestone deserves a big party.

The game-changing conversations, ruminations, and interrogations are back on board. The world-leading industry figures are back on board. The chances to meet your next favourite bands and business partners are back on board. This is the annual summit's secret sauce and the recipe just keeps getting better. Nestled within Melbourne Music Week again, there'll be plenty of music on show too.

Here's some of the new guests added to the already massive line-up:

Cheryl Waters / Claudia Sangiorgi Dalimore / Michelle Grace Hunder / Nick Greco / Lindy Morrison / David Ridler / Yeo / Giselle Au-Nhien Nguyen / Leanne de Souza / Michael Pohl / Jacinta Parsons / Pixie Weyland / Joel Ma
