Order posts for Event Manager and display location

I am using a looper provider to show the archive of upcoming events. I tried to order it in the first to come: {{dc:global:date}} and meta key _event_start_date << but the result seems random. Not in the correct date order. Also the ones in the past should not be displayed.

I also want to display the location. All I can figure out is displaying location it, but not the location name itself.
