WHERE CAN I STAY FOR SPLENDOUR IN THE GRASS?

As always, Splendour In The Grass 2019 will have campgrounds next to the festival site at North Byron Parklands, and are also offering a separate family-friendly campground called The Meadow, tucked away from everything so that the tin lids can get a good sleep.

If you don’t want to camp it out at the parklands, there’s plenty of hotels, caravan parks, and Airbnb options close to the festival site.

Contiki is also running a Splendour package this year, with a dedicated camp area, three day passes, an intimate performance from a festival act, and return coach trip from either Brisbane or the Gold Coast. Check out the full details of that package over on the Contiki website.

HOW DO I GET TO SPLENDOUR IN THE GRASS?

If you’re camping out at the festival, all you gotta do is wander on into the front gates every morning and Bob’s yer uncle, you’re there.

If you’re staying offsite, there’s day parking available for carpoolers (you’ll need a car pass, we’ll keep you updated on that) shuttle buses departing regularly to different spots around the local area, and a scheduled bus service to locations further away, like Byron Bay, Brunswick Heads, and Kirra up in Queensland.

Timetables, routes, and fares will be released closer to the festival dates, so we’ll keep you updated.

WHAT CAN I AND *CAN’T* I BRING?

A lot of this relies on common sense (like obviously, don’t bring flares, fireworks or weapons) but there are a few left-of-field items that you can’t take into the parklands.

For example, Splendour In the Grass 2019 is asking punters to ditch the brolly and opt for a raincoat or poncho if the heavens open, and to leave anything studded at home – sorry long-standing emos, you’ll have to leave that studded belt in the car.

The full list of banned items can be found over here.

What should you bring though? If you’re camping at the festival, be mindful that it’s a Leave No Trace policy. So you’re going to want to invest in a damn good tent that’ll last you a few trips around the sun.

Bring yourself a reusable water bottle and coffee cup to help cut down the amount of single-use plastics ending up in festival trash, bring a jumper and/or warm clothes to keep yourself comfy when the sun dips below the hills.

If you’re in prescription medication, make sure you bring your meds in a labelled Webster or Medico pack, and either your ongoing script or a written letter from your GP.

More information will roll out as we inch closer to the festival weekender, so we’ll keep you updated on all the important bits.
