Sideshow Alley: Splendour in the Grass 2019

Update 15/03 8.30am: Splendour in the Grass headliners Childish Gambino and SZA have announced their run of sideshows as well as rising hip-hop artist Russ. It follows Gambino’s history-making set at this weekend’s Coachella and the release of his new film co-starring Rihanna, ‘Guava Island’.

Original Post: We’ve had just over a week to digest the Splendour in the Grass lineup and buy (or miss out on) tickets. For those unlikely to snag a ticket or didn’t want to make the trek to Byron Bay Parklands this year, there’s just been a massive stack of sideshows to feast on.

In typical Splendour fashion, sideshows are all limited to Sydney and Melbourne with a couple of Perth, Newcastle and Adelaide shows thrown in for good measure. Some of the big international highlights this year who’ll be making extra spots around the country include Friendly Fires, The Midnight, James Blake, Tycho, The Streets and many more.
