Among the big indie rock acts and churning dance choons at Splendour In The Grass, the festival has for the past few years offered something far, far wilder: a live version of Q&A, where the panel discusses the issues of the day in front of a packed tent of certifiably loose kents.
We went LIVE with Q&A’s Tony Jones, aka King of Moderators and SITG punter, to chat democracy and… The Cure.

Straight from the horse’s mouth:
If I’m to be brutally honest about it, I don’t think they played the audience well. I think they had a huge, young crowd with an open mind […] I think unfortunately the young audience knew maybe a dozen, maybe fifteen of their songs and probably wanted to hear them early on to get into it. I don’t think they really understood that.
There ya have it, folks. Tony Jones: seasoned setlist critic.
