Splendour in the Grass is one of Australia’s biggest music festivals, taking place each year at the North Byron Parklands in Yelgun, New South Wales.
It is known for hosting many emerging Australian artists in addition to international stars, with headliners in the past including acts like Coldplay, Arctic Monkeys, Kanye West and Lorde.
Having been cancelled in 2020 and 2021 due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Splendour in the Grass is back this year with a setlist bound to win over any music fan.
Spanning the weekend of July 22 to July 24, this year’s lineup includes Tyler, the Creator, Gorillaz and The Strokes amongst many others.
While some acts, such as Surfaces, Mako Road and Adrian Eagle, have had to pull out, they have since been replaced by Australian psychedelic band Pond and rapper Tasman Keith.
