Get Ready For Splendour In The Grass 2016.

This year’s Splendour In The Grass Festival sold out in a mere ninety minutes earlier today. The tickets went on sale at 9am and in just over an hour, all weekend and day passes were swiftly snapped up – making it one of the fastest selling Splendours in history.

This will probably come as no surprise, with the event featuring such a strong line-up of international and local talent, including The Strokes, The Cure, The Avalanches, James Blake, At The Drive-In, Courtney Barnett, Violent Soho, Sigur Ros and Band of Horses, to name but a few. Check out the full line up below.

If you were one of the unfortunate few who didn’t manage to get a ticket, fear not as you may have the chance to make a purchase during the Resale. The Resale will take place from 9am AEST on Monday 30 May via moshtix.com.au or by phone 1300 GET TIX (438 849) and is now the only place where you can purchase legitimate tickets for Splendour In The Grass 2016. You can find out more info about the Resale and join a waiting list here.

Alternatively, if you’re keen on heading to a side show, listen out for announcements tomorrow morning on triple j and via secretsoundstouring.com.
