Splendour in the Grass, Belongil Fields Byron Bay, 25-26 July 2009


Splendour In the Grass is an annual music, arts and youth culture event which has taken place on the outskirts of Byron Bay each July/August since 2001.
As well as the latest and best in music from Australia and overseas, the festival also features local arts and crafts, creative performance and cuisine.

The festival is on the top of most discerning Australian music fan's wish-lists of must-go Festivals, which combined with the event's relatively small capacity compared to many of the summer festivals, results in feverish activity on the day tickets go on sale. This year's festival will be the eighth Splendour In the Grass. The two-day event accommodates 17,500 people and has sold out in advance in each year of its existence, often within hours of going on sale – all tickets to last year's festival were snapped up in just 5 hours, while the preceding three years' events sold out in a little over a day.

Many who attend choose to immerse themselves in the full 'Splendour experience' by taking advantage of the on-site camping adjacent to the festival site. Campers set up their tents right outside the festival gates and quickly establish their own Splendour village for the weekend.

For all things splendid and ticket info go here. Camping and event tickets have sold out.
If you missed out on tickets ... don't despair, we’ve got some news that will cheer you up. From 9.00am June 15th those who bought Splendour in the Grass tickets but can no longer attend will have the option to offer them for re-sale (less booking and admin fees) via www.qjump.com.au so that those who didn’t secure a ticket in the general release have a chance to grab one. For more info on this re-sale option, head to www.splendourinthegrass.com/faqs. We also have a number of sideshows happening this July, with more to be announced over the coming weeks.
