As usual, you'll want to get in fast if you've been waiting for the roster of acts before buying tickets — the festival is already 95-percent sold out.
Organisers are promising that "some of the best artists in the world" will play one-off shindigs in "killer locations around Australia all year long".
James Street's celebration of food and wine is back for another big year, with over 26 resident chefs, mixologists, baristas and providores hitting the street.
Celebrate Australia's First Nations filmmakers with these potent westerns, horror standouts, coming-of-age gems, Top End rom-coms, outback noirs, and expressive dance flicks.
This was set to be the star's first solo headlining tour of Australia since 2011, with 12 gigs on the itinerary in Sydney and Melbourne.
This week, check out Wynnum Fringe, eat your bodyweight in bottomless lasagne and go grape grazing in Fortitude Valley.
