~!  HAPPY SPLENDOUR LINEUP DAY  !~

There was barely a leak in sight this year, so security’s obviously tightened from last year’s accidental (but completely excellent) Spotify playlist whoopsie-daisy. There was, however, a fake poster which delighted and upset many passionate Aussie music fans. 
However, the SITG team haven’t disappointed with this lineup, and they’ve also added to the already incred The Amphitheatre, Mix Up, GW McLennan and Tiny Dancer stages. The brand spankin’ new Global Village stage will host a bunch of world music acts, plus burlesque, conscious theatre and circus performers, massage and healing. The Tipi Forest, Splendour in the Craft, Splendour Craft, Markets, and The Splendour Forum will also be back, complete with Q&A‘s Tony Jones
If you wanna be all up in thislineup and the ~infamous parkland bender~ vibes, tickets will be on sale 9am sharp AEST on Thursday 21 April through Moshtix, or phone 1300 GET TIX (438 849). 3-day ticket will set you back $375+bf, and a single day pass is $159+bf. 
SITG 2016 will be at the North Byron Parklands, held from Friday the 22nd – Sunday the 24th of July.
Oh, and you can RSVP on Facebook here, so your friends can envy the hugeness of your calendar: facebook.com/events/756044397859748/
