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.

Some smaller acts will be playing from 4pm to 12pm on Thursday July 21, but the festival proper will not begin until Friday July 22.
