Advanced Post Sorting

I am using the Gigs Calendar plugin for a DJ website. Rather than the plugin’s standard table of events, I am using a WP_Query call to display all posts with Category_name=Events .Works great except I need to sort them in according to the show date. The date is the first thing in the title. See here

Here is the template page code

<?php
/*
Template Name: Events
*/
?>
<?php get_header(); ?>
	<div id="content">
    <div class="post-inner">

<?php
$loop = new WP_Query(array('post_type' => 'post', 'posts_per_page' => 10 , 'category_name' => 'Events' ));  

	?>
	<?php while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post(); 

?><h2><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>">
<?php the_title();?></a></h2><?php	

	the_content ();

	endwhile;?>
	<?php // do_shortcode ('[gigs-calender archive]');?>
	        </div><!-- #content -->
	        <?php if (have_posts()) :
	while (have_posts()) : the_post();
	the_content ();
	endwhile;
	endif;
?>	        </div>

<?php get_sidebar();?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

I’m thinking something along the lines of reading the initial string of the title, converting it to a date, then resorting the WP_Query but not sure how to do it. Can anyone help? Would also like to have a divider for events that have already happened.
