Here it is you guys. After much speculation and a few early reveals the 2013 Splendour In The Grass lineup has been announced. Highlights? There’s no doubt that the appointment of a hugely talented crossover act like Frank Ocean will make this one of the most appealing festival bills of the year.
Add to that a few proven crowd pleasers like Mumford & Sons, Cold War Kids and The National, as well as some hyped new kids on the block a la Haim, Robert Delong and Ms Mr and you’ve got a pretty solid mix of talent across the board. We’re pretty excited to hear that church of joy The Polyphonic Spree will be performing The Rocky Horror Picture Show, which will surely be one time slot that you won’t want to miss.
