Splendour In The Grass!

The lineup for Splendour was announced this morning...and woah it's good!!!

I'm hoping I can get a ticket because I know how quickly they sell out, perhaps the venue change will turn some people off?

I do have a slight dilemma though, I'm meant to be seeing 30 Seconds to Mars on the 30th of July (OMGZZJAREDLETO) the day Splendour begins... I guess I'll still keep my ticket until I know for sure I can get a Splendour ticket and then sell it?

Oh well, i'm sure you don't need to hear about my social dramas and want to know the lineup right?

Well here it is...

This year Splendour In The Grass is moving to the Woodford site in Queensland. It's a bigger space, which means more punters - and more live acts than ever. The entire line-up has just been released and it's massive!







A bunch of acts have been on the rumour lists for weeks - like THE STROKES, MUMFORD AND SONS, THE TEMPER TRAP and BAND OF HORSES - but there are plenty of surprises too.






Seminal indie rock band PIXIES will make their second trip to Australia for the year to play the festival and it’ll be their only Australian show for this visit. We’ll also see the return of PASSION PIT, FLORENCE AND THE MACHINE, LAURA MARLING and GRIZZLY BEAR who all sold out shows when they were here in January/February.






BAND OF SKULLS, SURFER BLOOD, ALBERTA CROSS, MIIKE SNOW, THE DRUMS and TWO DOOR CINEMA CLUB will head over for their first ever Aus tour.






LCD SOUNDSYSTEM, BROKEN SOCIAL SCENE, MIDLAKE, FOALS, FRIGHTENED RABBIT, GOLDFRAPP, KATE NASH, JONSI (Sigur Ros) and BLACK REBEL MOTORCYLE CLUB will be here to showcase their brand new albums.






And we'll see the return of classic party acts SCISSOR SISTERS, THE TING TINGS and HOT CHIP.






Oh, and did we mention YEASAYER, ASH, BEN HARPER AND THE RELENTLESS 7, WE ARE SCIENTISTS, RICHARD ASHCROFT AND THE UNITED NATIONS OF SOUND, K-OS, DELPHIC, FAT FREDDY'S DROP, SCHOOL OF SEVEN BELLS and THE MAGIC NUMBERS?
