Take a deep breath. We’ve passed through the hype and received word from the higher ups of who’s playing Splendour in the Grass 2018. To prepare for tickets hitting digital shelves, we give you a definitive guide as to which acts are playing which day of the three-day camping behemoth.

To start things off, Lorde takes control of the Friday alongside Khalid, Miguel and Angus & Julia Stone. It’s a hip-hop, pop and funk-filled day with Chromeo also taking the stage that day. There’s no time to rest, however, as Saturday is even more jam packed—The Vampire Weekend infiltrate Australian shores for their Splendour exclusive show with Hilltop Hoods, CHVRCHES, Gang of Youths and Franz Ferdinard and many more taking over the middle day. Sunday, however, seems to be the biggest way to end the 2018 event! Prepare yourselves: Kendrick Lamar, The Wombats, MGMT, PNAU, Girl Talk, The Avalanches and more will adorn the Amphitheatre and Mix Up tents.

Headlining Splendour in the Grass 2018 is Kendrick Lamar, Lorde and Vampire Weekend—the latter two will be playing their only Australian shows at the festival. Khalid, CHVRCHES, The Wombats, Miguel, Girl Talk, Angus & Julia Stone and more also top the bill.
