No Splendour ticket? No worries.
If you just missed out on Splendour In The Grass tickets, don’t fret because a bunch of festival acts have unveiled dates and locations for sideshows around the country.
Splendour veteran James Blake, UK rockers Foals, hip hop outfit The Streets, English up-and-comer Sam Fender, synthwave group The Midnight and many more are slated to step outside of Byron Bay for a number of Aussie gigs. Plus, The Avalanches will be joining forces with The Streets as a support act on their Melbourne sideshow.
While a bunch of acts are only sticking to the east coast, others like Foals, Catfish and the Bottlemen and FIDLAR will be getting some brownie points for making the trek to other cities including Perth, Newcastle and Adelaide.
