- James Blake, DJ Shadow and Cut Copy will each appear on the festival's eclectic bill.
- The lineup for this year's Splendour in the Grass has been announced. While Splendour is in the Grass has always been a primarily rock-focused festival, each year the organisers tend to inject several electronic artists onto the bill. This year's edition will be no different, with several international dance and local artists and groups scheduled to make the trip north to Queensland to perform. James Blake will be arriving for his first Australian appearance, while Melbourne's Cut Copy and Architecture in Helsinki have also been locked in for live sets. Elsewhere on the lineup, veteran producer DJ Shadow will touch down for a rare Australian festival slot, while Sydney-based duo Pnau will regroup for their first Splendour appearance in several years. The festival will return to its new home in the Woodford bushlands, and, as per usual, will take place over three days in late July. This time around, it's set to kick off on the 29th and go through to the 31st.
