Organisers of July’s Splendour in the Grass festival in Byron Bay have dropped their second – and final – announcement. And it’s good news if you like big-name local outfits. Bad news, because it’s all sold out.
Joining the recently-added Happy Mondays and Doves at the two-day event are a smattering of local acts including Architecture in Helsinki, You Am I, Children Collide, Dappled Cities, Bridezilla, Holly Throsby, Paul Dempsey and default festival band Little Red. For skip-hop enthusiasts there’s Bluejuice and Downsyde & Drapht, while Art vs Science, Cut Copy DJs, Miami Horror and Canyons round out the indie-dance bill.
Other Australian acts confirmed for this year’s Splendour include Augie March, Midnight Juggernauts, Leader Cheetah, Jack Ladder and The Middle East. Full line-up below.

Don't you think it needs more das, astral? So it reads like the Batman theme.

Also, I wish I had tickets.
Hoping for Specials into Happy Mondays on the smaller stage.
I reckon so, anne. I'm not entirely sure why you directed the comment at me, though.
Oh whoops, that was nony.
I looked too quickly and saw yr name.
Aw, rejected.
I would still like to continue a BatDan Ackroyd with you, of course.
That makes me feel better.

i saw bluejuice at their last melbourne show, and they aren't really a skip-hop band at all anymore.
