It’s the line-up that encounters speculation all year round, but we can finally share the massive roster of artists who will be heading back to the North Byron Parklands for this year’s Splendour in the Grass (SITG).
Headlining and finally getting her chance to own the stage is the Kiwi Kween Lorde, who last minute replaced Frank Ocean back in 2013. Joining her will be Vampire Weekend and the world’s biggest rapper, Kung Fu Kenny himself, Kendrick Lamar. And get this, he is the only headliner to not be exclusively be performing at the festival, which has to mean he’ll be announcing an Aussie tour. Shit is about to get real people!
Other international favourites who made the bill are Khalid, The Wombats, CHVRCHES, Miguel and Franz Ferdinand. Our very own Hilltop Hoods, Angus & Julia Stone, Gang of Youths, amongst many others, will be representing Aussie music.
