Australia has to offer a myriad of festivals.
Good ones.
Big ones.
Genre specific ones.
Overarching ones transcending labels and scenes.
Boutique-y ones.
Splendour in the Grass is without an iota of doubt one of the queen bees.
Taking place at the North Byron Parklands from Friday 20 to Sunday 22 July with over 100 international and home grown artists incarnating at an array of themed stages and special areas. This year's headliners will include Henry Rollins, The Bronx, Kendrick Lamar, Lorde, Chvrches, Girl Talk, Dune Rats & Friends, and many more (listed in full below).
Splendour has firmly established itself as not merely a destination festival but much, much more than merely a platform for musical acts.
Splendour in the Grass has proven times and times again that is it one of the festivals that you have to experience at least once and that it does play in the same league as events like Glastonbury or Coachella.
