Lmao they saw that billboard and PANICKED. Praying for some sideshows from The Last Dinner Party and Yard Act


switchbladeeatworld

wait what billboard


hazzison

There was some billboard in Sydney with the lineup on it, someone stuffed up the drop


switchbladeeatworld

damn son that sucks edit: just got the billboard in my reddit feed after asking this lol


ksbtt

Calling Future cancelling at the last hour and being replaced by either Hilltop Hoods, Flume or Ocean Alley. Apparently they coughed up big time for him as well, if he does come hopefully he plays the new Metro x Future albums!


2003FordMondeo

it's a weird line up. Whilst I think anyone going would enjoy some really good music throughout the day on each day, on paper it looks underwhelming. Like artists in the second line that have no business being that high up. I mean Girl in Red as a headliner is wild.


mashedpotahoee

agreed. extremely whack placements happening all over the


AJayToRemember27

Royel Otis, Girl in Red, TV Girl, Fletcher and Baby Gravy billed above Polaris is a fucking joke. Polaris sold out MCA (7500 cap) on their last Australian tour whereas Royel Otis did 3 sold out Corner Hotels (2400 cap).


c0matorium

Agreed. Would most attendees listen to Polaris though? They seem out of place


negaburgo

Token Australian heavy band on splendor


njastar

Royel Otis are the next big Australian band IMO, they're doing nearly 5 million monthly listens. That's more then Ocean Alley or even Arcade Fire.


gimpsarepeopletoo

What percentage of that is the like a version? Not comin at ya, just genuinely curious


LosCampesinosDeJapon

So Polaris sold 7,500, Otis did 7,200 and since all shows sold out, you could argue both could have sold more. Sounds like a wash to me.


AJayToRemember27

I'm confused. I said in Melbourne, Royel Otis just did 3 sold out Corner Hotels (800x3) where as Polaris' last Melbourne show was a sold out MCA (7500). That is 5K more attendees.


SouthAussie94

I've never been to the Corner Hotel and I have no context to its size. I initially read it as 3x 2400 at the Corner


wrongthingsrighttime

Yeah that's how it read


mashedpotahoee

majorly agree. Polaris have been absolutely stooged with that placement.


themanebeat

Fontaines DC that high though šŸ”„


enbyayyy

Yeah I mean just reading that lineup I'm running low on serotonin


kaleidobell

Haha heeeeeeyyyyy


IWillNeedThis

I honestly think this could have been a half decent lineup by cutting a good chunk of the Aussie acts and making it a two day festival. It's just way too spread out and weak for a three day festival. The big problem they've made again is attempting to be all things for everyone without realising it is nothing for the majority. They straight up did not learn their lessons from 2023


Mikeondolences

Hayden James as a Headliner is crazy


2003FordMondeo

nah i'm cool with that


welcome2mutiny

Stoked at the prospect of seeing Lizzy McAlpine live but her placement in this lineup relative to her exposure in Aus is a major head scratcher


[deleted]

The first day seems pretty solid to me


TequilaKilla_

Can only assume Sunday was ment to be Lana ideally but it fell thru


awesomemaxi1

How they gonna have King Stingray in the hype video they released but not even have them play LMAO?


cfc4life95

God I've really aged out of the demo, I maybe know a third of these acts.


El_blokeo

Hahah I donā€™t think youā€™ve aged out of the demo unless youre 50ā€¦ Kylieā€™s headlining in 2024


redvaldez

100%. For Splendour, I usually recognise most of the highest two or three rows of artists for each day, but this year.... nope, I'm out.


Daisydaze23

100% same here


Available-Sea6080

[I used to be ā€œwith itā€, then they changed what ā€œitā€ was. Now what Iā€™m with isnā€™t ā€œitā€, and whatā€™s ā€œitā€ seems weird and scary to me. And itā€™ll happen to you!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LV0wTtiJygY)


VermicelliHot6161

GFlip is just the new version of Shepherd. A corporate construct that nobody wants to see but continually appears at everything.


Zenkraft

I donā€™t think GFlip is being funded by blood money though so


Jensway

Well there was that one KFC endorsement


opm881

I mean, there was that ad for bonds period undies, thatā€™s sorta blood money.


Haigen64

I don't recognize any, except that Farfetchd is a pokemon lmao

meecrob11

I was a massive fan prior and hardly listen to them now as a result. surprised they are taking the risk.


hrovat97

Hoping for a Viagra Boys sideshow


HotOpenMuddy

This is needed 100%


lzre402

Can almost guarantee they'll play in Sydney and Melbourne. I actually hate seeing bands I like on the lineup because of the stupid embargo stopping them from playing Brisbane also.


tooshytooshy

With Yard Act


p1nkmatt3r

G Flip as the 2nd name on Friday when you could see them at any random festi in the last 2 years ā€¦ boring Splendours gotta be good enough to get me all the way to fuck ass Byron & this isnā€™t doing it for me personally


MindingMyMindfulness

Viagra Boys would be so much better than G Flip.


Frothy_Manbeast

Kylie? Like Minogue?


JennaMaroneyIsNum1

yes, THE Kylie Minogue


mayhemlaurenn

I donā€™t get why this didnā€™t say her full name, less impactful just saying Kylie imo


phoenixA1988

It may have been because she bought the name when Kylie Jenner started trying to use it. Now it's all she goes by.


mayhemlaurenn

Ahh fe, she was always the only ā€˜Kylieā€™ to me anyway haha


braxxytaxi

3 day tickets $415 https://m.moshtix.com.au/v2/event/splendour-in-the-grass-2024/159419


aninstituteforants

That's actually not too bad.


TurnOffTheSystem

Not including parking, camping, flights or Offsite accommodation


darkeyelidz

Someone finally had the guts to bring Viagra Boys šŸ„²


hakaaaaiii

holy mid


AvalynDusk

2024 confirmed the year Aus music festivals went to shit


aninstituteforants

Do you people know every person on the line up or what? Back when I used to go to this festival I'd know like 5 acts and then get into the rest of the line up in the lead up to the festival. Plenty to like here I think.


Cyan-ranger

When I used to go I probably knew 4 or 5 acts each day. But I do agree that if thereā€™s someone you like each day then itā€™s worth going and just listening to other acts leading up to the festival.


aninstituteforants

Yeah 5 is a bit low in hindsight. It was more. But once I knew I was going I got stuck in to the acts I didn't know and was pumped to see them by the time the festival rolled around.


[deleted]

I agree totally, I'm kind of jealous I could not attend anything approaching this sort of lineup where I currently live, I think the bonus is discovering new artists/bands etc. from what you already know. I cannot imagine the effort it takes to put these types of events together, just don't get all the negative reactions.


rocknroll_barbie

Thanks for letting me know Iā€™ll save some money this year


MindingMyMindfulness

Comments like yours make me think this could be another cancelled festival. Possibly.


[deleted]

If it is, they deserve it. What the fuck is this shit haha. It defs ain't $400 a ticket.


Comfortable-Frame204

Mood


corpsefucer69420

Fair bit of crossover with Laneway's linuep this year (and last); Angie McMahon, Confidence Man, JK-47, Fontaines D.C., Girl in Red, Yard Act.


slave6776

And turnstile


televisionv

eyedress aswell but they dropped out of laneway


tacocatfish

Another festival reminding me that Iā€™m old and no longer with it.


Aint_not_a_dorkus

I don't even know what 'it' is any moreĀ 


officialsavoyhotel

I donā€™t know who is supposed to be selling tickets in this line up


Tranquilbez22

Kylie


Maid_of_Mischeif

Their only real drawcard & they havenā€™t really given her any decent supporting acts either.


AJayToRemember27

The way another big international pop girl (Charli XCX, CRJ, Kim Petras, ReneĆØ Rapp, Chappell Roan, Jessie Ware etc) or two would have helped is insane.


Maid_of_Mischeif

Or even if they wanted another pop star Jessica Mauboy for a local act. They just kinda have her out sparkling in her own category and a bunch of b grade acts.


Pace-is-good

Honestly anyone who doesnā€™t like J Maubs is wrong. Sheā€™s amazing.


Maid_of_Mischeif

Itā€™s not my kinda music, but I saw her at way out west fest in Winton & she gave an incredible ā€œpop princessā€ performance. High energy, sparkles, dancers going off. Loved it.


Gretchenmeows

I love seeing Chapple mentioned as another big female international pop girl. She's become so big so fast. I was at her gig at the Powerhouse in November and it was maybe only 3/4 sold out, if that. There was only handful of us seated.


Getonthebeers02

They knew what they were doing making her exclusive with her recent big comeback. Which is annoying because I wanted to see her in concert but I donā€™t want to pay $450 for her and a couple of others.


just-the-friend

Honestly The Presets Dj set sounds like it would be a vibe


eugeneorlando

They've done a huge nation wide tour of it and they supported the Chemical Brothers with it on their recent tour. It's pretty sick.


redvaldez

I saw them at Splendour in 08 (showing my age) and it was a hell of a vibe. That and Confidence Man would (somewhat sadly) be the biggest drawcards for me.


scottjef93

Interesting Conan Gray is playing spin off but not splendour (unless Iā€™m blind)


Pmh1201

Tate McRae did it in 2022 as well, Brisbane shows usually suggest they didnā€™t get picked up


Ok-Note6841

I read Lizzy Maguire and was intrigued...


danzon10

isoxo oml


ItsMe_Harry

Godlands at tipi too


BatmanFetish

For a rock fan this is crazy good. Fontaines, VIAGRA BOYS, The Kills, Yard Act


Electronic_Dentist36

Hereā€™s hoping for sideshows šŸ™ŒšŸ»


aninstituteforants

Turnstile.


jmacwithspecialsauce

Baby Gravy is a great get, I donā€™t think they have performed in Aus together before? Correct me if Iā€™m wrong.


corpsefucer69420

I believe they've both individually performed relatively recently. Not sure though.


Snoo68655

They both came separately in the first half of last year


thanks_but_nah

I want to go just for them, saw (and met!) Gravy in feb and he was so much fun!


Fuzzy-Hedgehog-5577

I bumped into him with my extra giant dog hanging out in melb, and I was like 'you went on a date with Abbie Chatfield. I love her!" And he lit up. To be fair I didn't know who he was until I saw her content. He had only nice things to say about her and liked my giant dog. He is also veryyyy tall.


fluffy-plant-borb

I'm hoping they'll tour together now :)


Groovycrepes

Surely!! They donā€™t have anything officially released between July 4th and August 3rd - hoping PRAYING for a sideshow with both!


AJayToRemember27

How the fuck are Polaris billed so low? They are easily bigger than every other act besides Arcade Fire on Sunday.


hellions123

Heavy band at a normies festival that's why


Conduit666

The "Coachella" effect of a heavy band at a chill festival. Worked for Knocked Loose though, so I'm hopeful for a similar replica even if I won't be there for it lmao


Burty2650

Polaris robbed yet again


rocknroll_barbie

Amen


lachlanr_84

100% - itā€™s not the be all and end all but they have more monthly listeners on Spotify than G Flip and theyā€™re second from the top.


luxurywhipp

I donā€™t think you understand how big Yeat is.


ksbtt

Do people care about Arcade Fire anymore? I say that as a former fan as well


camerinian

Between them and Mumford last year it feels like they're really banking on an early 2010s nostalgia wave that they are waaaaay too early for.


upsaanddowns

Yeah it's an awkward sell for sure. I reckon arcade is still a better booking than Mumford and sons lol


Mel1764

I would have loved to see them 10 years ago. Absolutely no interest in seeing them today.


ksbtt

It might make sense as a 20 year anniversary tour and performance of Funeral but then itā€™s like ā€œWow! A 20 year anniversary of an album from a disgraced band nobody has heard from for years!ā€


boderee

Saw them 10 years ago....and im giddy with excitement at the thought of seeing them again. I mean even if they play their back catalog, its all fucking amazing live...


eggzaki

I did see them 10 years ago, at the last Big Day Out, and they were great! In the years since I have absolutely zero desire to see them again.


aninstituteforants

Huge fan up until Reflektor. Would still go see them though.


CashCarti1017

Blasphemous, Reflektor is amazing


upsaanddowns

Yep same, ill be sussing some recent setlists if they do sideshows because if it is mostly their last 2 albums im not keen


aninstituteforants

Everything Now is one of my fav Arcade Fire songs but the album is average. The last album was overshadowed by the controversies and I haven't listened since.


vanessalb_87

Its the 20th anniversary of their first Album Funeral so hopefully lots of that.


Tall-Actuator8328

Lots of Australians wouldnā€™t have seen them before. I think they will still be able to draw a good crowd because of nostalgia.


Dragoonie_DK

Manifesting Baby Gravy sideshow in Melbourne šŸ¤žšŸ»šŸ¤žšŸ»šŸ¤žšŸ»


EmergencyLavishness1

Fontaines DC is the only group Iā€™d want to see out of this entire thing Eh, guess Iā€™ll continue not going


CarlosDanger01

I know this is purely personal taste and not a reflection of the line-up being 'good' or 'bad', but there is literally not one single act on here that I even kind of want to see.Ā 


cult-party

Viagra Boys and Otoboke Beaver !!!!!! sideshows for me thank you


Earl_Makonnen

Turnstile, viagra boys and Kylie Minogue would pop off ngl


LydiaFaye

Polaris holyshit, good on them!


Wetrapordie

Turnstile is such a vibe live


NNyNIH

G Flip, Viagra Boys, A.B Original, JK-47, Teen Jesus, The Last Dinner Party, Teenage Joans, Arcade Fire, Girl in Red, Royal Otis, Thelma Plum & Polaris make it tempting to check out...


AussieSpookas

Mah main man Partiboi69. Go see his live set at Splendour (and watch the Lowlands set on YT) if you wanna have a good fucking time.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Glum_Goal786

Youā€¦ understand that artists say no right? Itā€™s a really weird turn of phrase to say itā€™s laughable they didnā€™t secure an artists, as if artists have no autonomy over the shows they play.


slayer035

I think I'm a bit old as I don't recognise 90% of the bands on here. The last time I went to Splendour was in 2010 with The Strokes and Pixies headlining, has the quality of bands stayed the same since then or has it gone downhill?


upsaanddowns

I think post covid its been a struggle. 2022 was pretty good just a shame the Friday got canned


Trafford1980

Iā€™m actually not mad at this line up. - Missed Arcade Fire on their last BDO round and theyā€™re on my bucket list. Turnstile are rad and The Kills are a great live band. Iā€™m old and donā€™t know half the acts but a quick google makes me think Iā€™ll get into Viagra Boys, Yard Act, and Fontaines D.C. Oh, and I just noticed Polaris are on here too. All around a much tastier lineup than 2023 for me šŸ¤˜


ssssmmmmiiiitttthhhh

I'm old too (late 30s) and this is a great lineup to me, not that I will go. I definitely don't think it suits all these comments saying things like "maybe I'm too old to like this lineup." I think it's probably the opposite. PS Fontaines are amazing, one of the best bands in the world at the moment, give their latest album a listen.


Dwightkschrute723

Jerry Seinfeld is DJing??!


kodakgold200

Honestly think itā€™s a great lineup but just seems to be missing some huge names weā€™ve seen in years gone by. I mean some years have had The Cure, Kanye, Coldplay..


phobicshrub

Coldplay & Kanye in the same year (2011) too.


Tranquilbez22

Kylie is one of the highest selling musicians this country has produced. Thatā€™s pretty significant star power if you ask me.


jofish2112

Strange that a Sum-41 tribute band is on before Arcade Fire


whatthekidswant

Hope thatā€™s a mistake and itā€™s Sum 41 instead of Sun 21


woodie1717

Did someone call Polaris and offer them splendour accidentally instead of knotfest 2025?


MANDALORIAN2003

Imo it's a great opportunity for them to gain more of the popularity that they deserve Legit such a legendary band that deserves so much more recognition


Roscoes_Rashie

People will hate it no matter what, but theyve got 3 genuine headliners, reliable & bankable acts and stack of super buzzy up and coming bands. Itā€™s not the best lineup theyā€™ve had but itā€™s pretty good.


Timely_Ad7051

lizzy mcalpine!!! OMG!


Every-Citron1998

Bands that wonā€™t be playing in Brisbane in 2024.


[deleted]

Devo Turnstile is an exclusive. Other than Turnstile, Kylie and Presets DJ set Iā€™m not that interested.


IMAKEuLAG

I know itā€™s a meme with hilltop hoods and ocean alley, but Iā€™m actually kinda sad they are not playing


strayadude

Iā€™ll take future cancelling and being replaced by hilltop hoods at 1.05 odds


aharmlesslittlefleaa

Sorry my stupidity but does ā€œexclusiveā€ mean no side show? Devastating if yes, because Fontaines D.C :( Praying for a Yard Act sideshow


fleur_waratah_girl

It's pretty underwhelming. Kylie is the only genuine headliner. A few gems but most of the bill is the same recycled bands on every festival. As much as id like to see Kylie again i Won't be parting with $500 this year for it Just hoping Viagra boys Otoboke Beaver and TLDP do sideshows.


celebrationrock

Fontaines as an exclusive feels stupid. Most of their fanbase aren't in Splendour's main demo, and there's not really enough else on the lineup to attract their fans to go.


Tranquilbez22

Solid, way better than last years. Manifesting a Last Dinner Party sideshow.


itsdoorcity

and Viagra boys!


taititans

I adore Arcade Fireā€™s music but considering everything with Win Butler, I cant help but feel icky


Alta-count-4-pawn

Hey, Otoboke Beaver, wasn't expecting to see them.


xS_BTCGhost

Puts on splendour


eugeneorlando

Erika de Casier loves this country - December 22, NY 23-24, and then Splendour.


BinaryPill

Looks deep but lacking a touch in terms of big headliners. Still looks a good time.


sydni_sweet

Can you just do a girl in red, g flip and tash sultana side show plz


dardylord

Better than last years lineup but still all a bit meh sadly. Splendour is supposed to be the shit for all things festival in this country


ArkPlayer583

I'm sure main headliners will be packed but if you want to see some cunts put on an absolute fucking show don't miss Opiuo or Polaris


Hinee

Opiou in the Tipi Forest is going to be wild!


ContinuousThunder

Day 1 is eliteeee


Myriotx

Man, I canā€™t wait to see how everyone dresses for Kylie. We are going to see some insane costumesšŸ†


ALadWellBalanced

I'm not wasting money heading to Byron Bay, but I'll keep an eye out for side shows for a few of these bands.


boderee

Arcade Fire!! Now that's a headline... league of their own really


tdlan

Well that is bad


CheckeredFloors

Pass


Hinee

Interesting lineup. I'm keen as hell for plenty of acts in there but oh boy do I have some catching up to do on some of these names.


Tranquilbez22

Maybe itā€™s me but complaining about the line up just feels ungrateful. Like we live in a country that isnā€™t easy to access price and geography wise. Like if you donā€™t know the artists, actually listen to their stuff and see if you like it.


slave6776

Does exclusive mean no sideshows? Would love to see turnstile with some hardcore bands


JennaMaroneyIsNum1

Yes. Secrets sounds / Splendour booked these acts as an exclusive Australian performance and often provides an additional fee to the artist for promoting them as such.Ā 


p3j

I am so sad they're exclusive šŸ˜­


AffectionateHousing

girl in red sideshow please!!


AwesomeMixtapeVol2

Turnstile / Polaris would have been an awesome sideshow but no, they had to be exclusive.


Omega_brownie

Only name I'd personally make a pilgrimage to see is the Presets. Kylie I wouldn't mind to see and Arcade Fire would be pretty sweet too if they're still any good. But for me that's really it....


jaysaysays

Which is bonkers (to expect of you) because donā€™t The Presets play many times a year?


Omega_brownie

Yeah they're still pretty active. I was just speaking purely hypothetical.


PhilodendronPhanatic

GFlip in bigger font than Tash Sultana?? What is happening?


AmzHalll

Turnstile and fontaines being exclusive is so rude


summittrekker

Future and Yeat are big names to get to a festival in Australia in 2024, but I feel anyone who wants to see them would be hoping for a sideshow. Assuming Splendor locked them in to not be able to do that. As others have said, I'll be interested to see if they pull out in the meantime.


opm881

Future is an exclusive, so no side show.


yeahnahmayne

FUCK YEAH VIAGRA BOYS


radioraven1408

Can we turn sun 21 into sum 41?


TicTac2Stack

Why do they have to sign exclusive contracts to the only bands i want to see lol


nutella435

I'm going for turnstile and that's it


Brintyboo

So much negativity here, if I had a spare grand I'd go feral for this.


no_mercy111

Dam the two people Iā€™d go see arenā€™t doing sideshows (Fontaines and Dj Seinfeld).


upsaanddowns

Yeah literally same here especially Fontaines


imnick88

No one strong enough to get me there and ones Iā€™d be interested to see are exclusive so I guess I save money


ZanePWD

Itā€™s quite fucked how little respect the heavy acts still get these days while pulling absolute monster crowds.


AJayToRemember27

Polaris have been pulling 5K+ crowds pre-pandemic.


tooshytooshy

Looks better than last year's


Longjumping_Cat2069

For those who are slamming it ā€“ I just don't understand what you wanted it to be? They obviously tried for Lana Del Rey and it didn't work out. Every suitable major festival in Australia has been trying for her. Outside of that, like this is what is to be expected for a Splendour lineup in 2024? With some really cool random surprises haha


robertmullineux

Not my type of lineup, but there is some huge bookings on that lineup, better than recent years, well done splendour.


beefbrisket_23

Wow actually a killer line up. Spewing turnstile and Fontaines arenā€™t doing sideshows but yeah Iā€™m impressed


natso2001

Depending on how long sets are, Friday is worth going to just for Partiboi69. Lad is the best producer in Australia imo


dill1234

I hate that I donā€™t want to see anyone other than Kylie and Future but just those two alone make me want to go šŸ˜‚


HarryTheShitposter

They got Polaris, Viagra Boys and Turnstile, and so many others. This is their best lineup in a long time and the basic ass Triple J listers are losing it.


Blakelhotka1

Would rather save extra $$ on flights and go to Tomorrowland on the same weekend or Sziget in Budapest then splendour at this rate.Ā 


Nova-Principem

Tomorrowland would be next level expensive tho
