Presented by Handpicked Group, The Grass Is Greener Festival is one of Queensland’s most adored music, food and art festivals.
Starting as a pipedream amongst mates, The Grass Is Greener quickly became the marquee festival in the FNQ. Since its triumphant debut in 2016, the then two stage event began to play a vital role fostering local emerging Australian artists in regional centres alongside major Australian acts Amy Shark, All Day, Hayden James, Ocean Alley and spotlighting international hip hop artist Tyga when he was at the height of his career.
Last year’s festival featured an all-Australian lineup that included the likes of Crooked Colours, Ziggy Alberts, Young Franco, Boo Seeka, Winston Surfshirt, George Maple, Jordan Brando and Jesswar, to name but a few.

“With plans to grow The Grass is Greener into a national festival falling through in 2020, we couldn’t be more thrilled to bring regional Australia a truly unique offering they deserve,” says Handpicked Group.
This year, the festival will continue its pledge of creating memorable moments for regional punters with a considerable investment into the construction of each event. Multiple themed stages, adventurous activations and a renewed VIP package program that will provide festival goers with an unforgettable experience.
With the dates set for October 2022, the festival will unveil the lineup for the festival on June 16 (which apparently boasts a curation of international and local artists yet to be experienced by Australian audiences), with pre-sale tickets going on sale on June 22 and general public tickets going on sale June 23.
Word is this will be the most daring and unique line-up of any festival this year.
Aligning with The Grass Is Greener long-term roadmap to incorporate the Metaverse, they today also become the first Australian festival to release its own NFT. These NFT’s will allow its owner the opportunity to unlock unique and exclusive on-site experiences… they also grant the owner access to the event.
