It starts this Friday! Are you going?
Splendour in the Grass is a very popular music and arts festival that takes place during the Australian winter, usually in Byron Bay, New South Wales. The festival comes around every July and features heaps of bands and musical acts that result in lightning quick ticket sales.
Splendour in the Grass made its debut as a one-day event back in 2001, but the popularity of the event led it to becoming much larger the following year. In 2002, Splendour made its mark as a two-day event with musical acts ranging from Grinspoon to John Butler Trio taking the stage.
2010 Splendour in the Grass
The 2010 event actually changes venues from the common Belongil Fields to Woodford, Queensland. The reason for the change comes from the delayed approval of a permanent location in New South Wales. This meant that the preferred location would not be ready in time for the 2010 event, leading event holders to move to the Queensland border area for this year’s festivities.
Splendour runs over the coming weekend from July 30th to August 1st, 2010.
Acts include:
Scissor Sisters, The Temper Trap, Laura Marling, Kate Nash, Band Of Skulls, Surfer Blood, The Drums, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Jónsi Ash, We Are Scientists, Richard Ashcroft & The United Nations of Sound, K-Os, Alberta Cross, Two Door Cinema Club, Midlake Delphic, School Of Seven Bells, The Magic Numbers, Frightened Rabbit, Angus and Julia Stone, Empire Of The Sun, Wolfmother, The Vines, Tame Impala
Unfortunately, tickets are no longer for sale for 2010, but do take a note of this event so you can get yours early in the coming years!

You have no idea how much I wish I was going. I’m in Brisbane now, but leaving for Alice Springs on Sunday. Tickets were sold out before I even had a chance to think about going.
