[gigs] Festival Time Approaching

Lots of new stuff, largely thanks to the Adelaide Festival, and also before that the sessions series at the Space Theatre. I’ve only listed a few items for each so you might want to check out the full details. Also there are other festivals on the way with the full lineup of Laneway announced (as well as some welcome changes to the site) and a partial Womadelaide lineup with the rest due this month. Of less interest me are Future Music (though it does have Aphex Twin) and Big Day Out (very little of interest except Battles).
