All the Australian gigs and festivals to be across in November

We are well and truly on the fast lane to the silly season.

What better way to make sure your cup is full than with a few festivals and gigs?

If you’re a fan of beats, bands, or bangers then we have the monthly guide just for you.

With festivals full of international acts, DJs and some fresh, local lineups, there is something for everyone over the next month.

Spilt Milk - Canberra, Ballarat, Gold Coast - Various Dates

It’s safe to say that Spilt Milk has one of the best local lineups in years.

Couple that with some fantastic international acts making their way to Australia for the three-date touring festival, and we are in for one hell of a show.

What better way to roll on into festival season than with some of the country’s premier dance acts?

We’re talking Flume, Fisher, and Hayden James. Three of the best producers/DJs that have been making waves internationally will be placing down some rhythms and getting feet and hips moving effortlessly.

Those three beat makers could sell the festival alone, but let’s not forget they’ll be joined by the likes of Spacey Jane, Genesis Owusu, Mansionair, Young Franco, and Mallrat.

Seriously, if you love Australian music and can get a ticket, this is the festival for you.

But it doesn’t just end there because the Aussie legends will be joined by British alt-rock icons The Wombats, who are returning to the country after being here in June. They must really love it Down Under.

And while we may not be getting British grime royalty in Stormzy, Spilt Milk is being graced with the presence of perhaps the hottest artist in the world right now: Steve Lacy.

The alternative R&B artist has topped the US Billboard chart with his single ‘Bad Habit’ and will bring all the funk vibes to the festival.

If you’re looking to find your next favourite artist, make sure to catch the likes of Telenova, Ninajirachi, 1300, and King Stingray.
