  • This year's Splendour In The Grass festival will host live sets from LCD Soundsystem, Goldfrapp and Hot Chip. Now in its tenth year, Splendour In The Grass has become one of Australia's most revered camping music festivals. Though the event has a strong focus on rock-oriented acts, dance music fans are usually catered for with several big names as well. LCD Soundsystem front man James Murphy, Goldfrapp and Hot Chip will hold the electronic music baton this time around. Further down the list are the Ewan Pearson-produced three-piece Delphic, Australian Institubes signees Midnight Juggernauts, and British indie rockers Foals. Coinciding with this year's tenth anniversary, Splendour In The Grass will be shifting north from its longtime Byron Bay home to Queensland's Woodford region. As yet, no sideshows for any of the aforementioned acts have been announced, but if the past few years are anything to go by, several should be on the way.
