The British Top Splendour In The Grass’ Epic 2016 Lineup

Splendour 2016 Logo

After months of speculation and tears as band after band became ruled out, Australia’s most talked about music festival has finally dropped it’s lineup for 2016!

Headlining the winter festival will be everyone’s favourite New York rockers The Strokes and English legends The Cure, along with international stars Santigold, Sigur Ros, Jake Bugg, The Kills, Jack Garratt, Snakehips, The Internet, and the (again) reunited post-hardcore outfit At The Drive-In.

Plenty of big name Aussies have also been named on this year’s lineup including Flume, The Avalanches (who’ve been M.I.A for too long), Courtney Barnett, Violent Soho, Hermitude, Matt Corby, Illy, Ball Park Music, The Preatures, Gang of Youths, Sticky Fingers, and DMA’s.

Also announced are stars of triple j’s Geraldton One Night Stand Urthboy, Boy & Bear, Jess Kent, Sampa The Great, plus Aussie alt-gems Remi, King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, Methyl Ethel, City Calm Down, Nicole Millar, Jagwar Ma, Boo Seeka, World Champion, Feki, WAFIA, and Running Touch round out a near perfect festival lineup.

These acts and more will play over three days across four main stages at the (hopefully not-too-muddy) North Byron Parklands.

Tickets go on sale Thursday 21st April at 9am sharp AEST on the Splendour In The Grass Official Website.
