Headlining the festival with a dazzling spectacle, Australia’s beloved pop sensation, KYLIE, graces her homeland with an exclusive performance at the Amphitheatre stage on Friday night, etching her name into the Splendour in the Grass legacy. Returning with flair and grace, KYLIE is set to deliver a show-stopping experience, pulling from her illustrious career that spans decades.

With a decade’s worth of fervent anticipation building, the band promises to cast a spell over the audience, delivering an unforgettable performance. Boasting an impressive collection of accolades, including 11 Grammy nominations, Brit Awards, Juno Awards, and the prestigious Polaris Music Prize, ARCADE FIRE stands as a musical powerhouse that has headlined renowned festivals like Coachella, Glastonbury, and Primavera Sound. Their celebrated discography, featuring critically acclaimed albums such as “Funeral,” “The Suburbs,” and “Reflektor,” has not only garnered praise from critics but has also firmly etched their place in the annals of music history.

Prepare for a musical rollercoaster with Norwegian alt-pop sensation GIRL IN RED, following a successful stint opening for Taylor Swift’s record-breaking Eras Tour in the US. Joining the lineup are Californian Soundcloud 2.0 trailblazer, rapper YEAT, and hardcore groundbreakers TURNSTILE, set for an exclusive Australian performance. TURNSTILE, a 4-time Grammy winner who sold out last year’s Aussie headline shows in minutes, promises an electrifying performance that’s not to be missed. The stage is set for an unforgettable mix of talent and energy.

Get ready for a hip-hop infusion with the arrival of dynamic duo BABY GRAVY (YUNG GRAVY and BBNO$) for their debut Australian appearance, bringing their globally viral success to the festival stage.
