Despite organisers being left with red faces after the bulk of the lineup leaked a day early on the Sydney Opera House website, Sydney’s Vivid Festival, curated by discharged bankrupt and Modular Records head honcho Steve ‘Pav’ Pavlovic has been officially announced. While confirming the leaked line up, it also reveals that The Avalanches’ much anticipated live return will be in fact a DJ set, while Spiritualized will be joined by a 30 piece gospel choir and orchestra for two performances of their landmark 1997 album, Ladies & Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space.
