As the days begin to stretch out and the mercury begins to rise it's beginning to feel a lot like summer. November marks the beginning of the gig circuit for the warmer months and it's coming in hot with a glut of outstanding international and local acts. From trap, to indie electronica, folk and everything in between, there's somewhere to lose yourself, find yourself and get weird to depending on your mood.
