Gemma Dempsey, Host of the Global Gig Guide interviewed a variety of Australian artists and festival directors to find out about music festivals down under. Check out her conversations as she catches up with new indie bands fresh out of bed - artists like Missy Higgins and Gabriella Cilmi on the road, music fans dangling off buildings and festival curators putting the finishing touches to their events.
