Just in case Splendour In The Grass' record-breaking sideshow lineup wasn't big enough, Secret Sounds has just announced the support acts and they're pretty huge.
From up and coming electronic acts, future popstars, beat heavy rappers and stunning vocalists, over 15 acts have been added to the huge array of Splendour In The Grass sideshows hitting Australia’s capital cities throughout July.
The impressive lineup of special guests kicks off with none other than Perth five piece Pond, who will take to the stage after Hayley Mary warms the crowd up at Liam Gallagher’s shows in Sydney and Melbourne, while WA duo Old Mervs get the crowd ready for the former Oasis man in Perth.

Meanwhile, Torren Foot will get the dancefloor moving ahead of Duke Dumont, that’s following a set from new anonymous project Tseba, opening the shows in Sydney and Melbourne with its fine balance of nascent electronic music and the familiar sounds of global pop and dance.
Tired Lion are no longer available for YUNGBLUD’s tour across the country, so Peach PRC will be now joining YUNGBLUD, while both will also be joined at all shows, except for Perth, by 19 year old Slovakian Karin Ann.
Melbourne-based outfit Glass Beams will play a hometown performance in support of Jungle, before making their way to open for the English duo’s set in Sydney too. Melbourne artist daine will be joining Mura Masa. Brisbane’s Nerve will support Aitch’s performances.
Mia Rodriguez will kick off proceedings ahead of Oliver Tree, while Set Mo will support SOFI TUKKER’s shows in Melbourne and Sydney, with female duo WIIGZ joining as well. That’s as Golden Vessel takes to sold out crowds – opening Still Woozy’s shows with his unique blend of electronic, hip hop, R&B and alternative pop influences.
Splendour In The Grass drops its biggest ever Melbourne sideshow list
Experimental Brisbane artist Yb. is set to grace the stage ahead of Biig Piig, as Liyah Knight performs ahead of Joy Crookes. The Buoys will join Wet Leg at their sold out SITG sideshows, before Wet Leg support Yeah Yeah Yeahs at their Splendour sideshows too.
This huge host of special guests accompanies the previously announced news that pub punk legends The Chats and psychedelic rockers The Lazy Eyes will join The Strokes on their sold out tour, while Benson is all set to get audiences pumping ahead of Dillon Francis’ shows.
