The festival circuit in Australia has taken a few blows in recent times with the loss of Big Day Out, Future Music, Soundwave, and most recently Stereosonic. However, there are still a few gems in Australia's crown, one of them being Splendour In The Grass, who have just dropped their lineup. And as per usual, it is fantastic. Leading the charge for festivities are The Strokes, The Cure, The Avalanches, Flume, James Blake, and At The Drive-In. Like previous years, the gang behind Splendour have managed to pull a few surprises out of their sleeves, and with a strong cohort of local talent coming along for the ride, the festival continues to cement itself as a premier festival.
Splendour In The Grass is on the 22-24 July. The 2016 lineup:
