25.01.2022 Did you know... that in 2014, we had a rider request for 4000 tacos and one jacuzzi. Not sure if they were intended to be enjoyed at the same time.. Mitch Lowe

25.01.2022 #splendourinthepast with Amy Shark in 2018. We adore you Amy! Savannah van der Niet

24.01.2022 Right about now the sun would be setting over the festival grounds, some of us would be marching over to the Amphitheatre and finding their spot on the hill to settle in for a huge evening of amazing music

23.01.2022 "The best thing about Splendour is the new friends you make. Maybe you wont ever see them again but over the weekend youre dancing together, hanging out in the campsite together and discovering new bands together. Everyone is feeling the exact same energy and excitement at the same time - there aren't too many other events where that happens" Arlo, Sponsorship Aimee Catt

23.01.2022 Missing afternoon sunsets like this

22.01.2022 Who remembers this Coldplay moment back in 2011? #splendourinthepast

22.01.2022 Our Artists are like family, and we are so sad that we can't spend our usual music-filled weekend with them and share the moments with you. As we can't be together, we will be bringing you some of our favourite memories we have captured over the past nineteen years triple j will be supplying soundtrack, so tune in all weekend long and relive some of the most unforgettable #splendourinthepast moments.

21.01.2022 Who can forget the insanely stacked lineup of #SITG2017 kicking off on the with Friday with The XX, HAIM, Vance Joy, Peking Duk, Vera Blue, The Kite String Tangle, Tash Sultana & Lil Yachty just to name a few. Talk about first night fever! #splendourinthepast Ian Laidlaw

19.01.2022 It's been a huge few of years for Baker Boy who, just last week took out the top prize at the 2020 National Indigenous Music Awards! To look how far he has come, here's a young, strong and proud Baker Boy backstage at Splendour 2018!

19.01.2022 With celebrations of the 20th Anniversary of Odyssey Number Five in full swing, we thought it would be a fitting time to share our interview with Bernard Fanning back in 2017. Chatting about his journey into music and that unforgettable Powderfinger reunion.

19.01.2022 Our friends over at BIGSOUND have secured rock royalty, and one of our all-time faves Tom Morello to deliver a keynote address at this year's virtual event happening 21-22 Oct. Tune in for FREE as he chats music, activism and the intersection of the two. Register and set your reminder for Tom Morello at #BIGSOUND20 https://www.bigsound.org.au

18.01.2022 Powderfinger have released a lil happiness into 2020 with the 20th Anniversary of Odyssey Number Five deluxe edition. We'll never forget their 2017 reunion in the amphitheater. Happy listening! Listen: splndr.co/PowderfingerOdyssey20 Merch: splndr.co/PFMerch20

17.01.2022 Now this is making us very excited! Brand new Gorillaz featuring Robert Smith (The Cure) coming very soon...

17.01.2022 Let’s face it, 2020 has been a tough time for those in the music industry, with demand for crisis relief and mental health services the greatest it’s ever been. Getting behind #AusMusicTshirtDay and the amazing work of Support Act is one of the easiest ways you can support the Australian music scene right now. Our besties, Secret Sounds have created a team to help raise some money. If you have the means to do so, we’d value any donation. Money goes towards helping musicians, crew, and all music workers in the industry in crisis. You can head to scrtsnds.co/donate2020 to donate

17.01.2022 We are sure everyone remembers the spectacular Tame Impala #SITG2019 performance, but who was there for their very first set in 2010? #splendourinthepast

17.01.2022 We are thrilled to have scooped two trophies at the Australian Event Awards on Wednesday night, Best Tourism Event and Event Producer of the Year for Splendour’s Co-founder and Co-CEO of Secret Sounds Group, Jessica Ducrou. In recognising Splendour in the Grass Co-founder and Co-CEO of Secret Sounds Group Jessica Ducrou the judges commented An incredibly impressive individual, Jessica has done a remarkable job at creating events with a multitude of critical and influential s...takeholders invested. While I am absolutely thrilled to have received this recognition for the Splendour in the Grass team and also personally, it comes at a time when the live music industry is unable to operate and is in dire straits" said Jessica Ducrou. While state governments have relaxed restrictions to allow 40,000 people to gather at Sydney’s ANZ Stadium for football finals and 11,000 at Royal Randwick for the races in the interest of economic recovery, there has been no such assistance for our Australian music festivals, which employed 9,176 FTE workers and injected over $2.7B into the Australian economy in 2019. An 86% loss (economic and jobs) is projected for 2020.** Not $1 of the federal funding for arts and entertainment businesses has reached the industry as yet and it wont until January 2021. The live music and events industry needs assistance now! We need the government to support the industry with a Business Interruption Fund, Event Cancellation Fund or Insurance, led by the industry and underwritten by Government, as has been provided to the film industry. We need the continuation of JobKeeper support for employees in our industry until live entertainment returns to normal operation and without the constraints of major restrictions. We need a moratorium on GST on live event tickets, following the precedent set in the UK. We need a significant expansion of the RISE grant funding program, with a particular focus on assisting commercial, non-subsidised live entertainment operators to deliver live events in COVID-safe formats. We need a level playing field. Allowances and relaxations afforded to the racing and sporting industries should also apply to the live entertainment industry. We cannot wait to deliver you our sold out 20th anniversary edition in July 2021.

16.01.2022 Tommy O'Dell and Johnny Took from DMA'S are no stranger to a Splendour audience. Back for the third time, to play what they reckon is the 'best Australian festival' () the crowd in the Amphitheatre were left 'believing in life after love' after the boys covered Cher for their first live Like A Version performance.

16.01.2022 In a year that has been nothing short of challenging, we're super excited to share the news that at last night’s Australian Event Awards, Splendour in the Grass 2019 won Best Tourism Event and our fearless and inspirational leader, Jessica Ducrou won Event Producer of the Year Splendour taking home the gold is a testament to our hard working community that make this event something special And of course, Splendour wouldn’t be what it is without YOU GUYS! It’s your passion and loyalty that is the real heart and soul of the event, so thank you! Charlie Hardy

16.01.2022 If you’ve seen Stella Donnelly before, you know that her personality is just as captivating as her lyrics.

08.01.2022 Who could forget 2014 27, 500 music lovers filled the parklands for a 3 day degustation of talent, music, art, craft and to see massive blow up whale tittes. Lili Allen came armed with baby bottles, Sam Smith covered Arctic Monkeys 'Do I Wanna Know', Foals' 'Spanish Sahara' echoed through the Amphitheatre as they got the last-minute call up, the crew over at the Mix Up Tent were sippin on milkshakes with Kelis and Gambino copped the clash with the SpottieOttieDopaliscious Outkast. Dave Kan

07.01.2022 "Theres a lot to love about Splendour but one of my favourite things is the sense of family and community you get being there. Over the years Ive been on both sides of the barrier and whether youre making friends in the campsite or with fellow colleagues backstage, you see people in their element, having one amazing time. It's these special bonds and moments you create, which you can't experience anywhere else" Grace, Ticketing Justin Ma
