All in Festival
Splendour in the Grass is celebrating its twentieth year and has one of the better line-ups in recent memories. There are the festival mainstays like the DMAs and Dom Dolla, returning Australian stars like Flume and Violent Soho, and huge international headliners like Tyler, the Creator and The Strokes.
From scorching heat to heavy rain, Laneway began this decade with a rough start. However, the festival was able to literally weather the storm and deliver that classic Laneway experience. From the heart of the city of Sydney, St. Jerome’s Laneway Festival made its way to the Domain this year with a huge line-up of international headliners, domestic darlings and home-grown talent.
The annual Bad Friday music festival is making its return to Marrickville this year with a huge expansion to two days. A decade after the festivals humble beginnings in the Annandale Hotel, the Bad Friday Weekender is staying true to form with a line-up filled to the brim with local, home-grown talent.
Last Saturday, Spilt Milk 2019 made its way to Commonwealth Park in Canberra and was a huge success. From the crazy outfits to festival food, with a whole lot of music in between, this year’s Spilt lived up to the expectations. Backyard Opera has full coverage of must-see acts and the places to be, just in time for the festival’s appearance in Ballarat this weekend.
At the closest festival Australia has to Coachella, it's as much about the music as it is about the fashion. This year at Splendour in the Grass, neon pinks and greens, body harnesses, and crochet flares, skirts and dresses abounded on the hills and fields of North Byron Parklands.
Slowly Slowly warmed up the amphitheatre with a popular cover of Bon Iver's Skinny Love, and over on the Mix Up side stage, 17-year-old KIAN played to a packed tent and included a surprise appearance from Kwame. On the same stage, English duo Honne kept the vibes going with their synth pop - a definite set highlight being "Warm On A Cold Night".
Everyone was looking a little dustier than the day before on day two of Splendour, but there was no shortage of hype for the huge day to come. In the amphitheatre, Trophy Eyes surprised the audience with a hilariously unexpected performance of an expletive-riddled Chris Lilley song - performing alongside the comedian himself.
On the first day of Splendour, the energy was running high as eager festivalgoers streamed into North Byron Parklands, ready for the three-day bender to come. Adorned in on-trend neon green snakeskin, golden brown leopard print, flowing boho dresses and glitter galore, punters strutted through the grounds and filtered off in smaller groups to various stages.
Our favourite all-Aussie festival has just dropped its line-up for 2019. Continuing its tradition of bringing together the best of this nation’s talent with the hottest emerging local acts, Yours & Owls have put Amy Shark, Courtney Barnett, Golden Features and Hot Dub Time Machine at the top of the billing.
An eclectic mix of artists, a well-designed space and an energetic but controlled crowd made Canberra’s Groovin the Moo a festival success. Showcasing a mix of musical genres, with buttery pop from the likes of Jack River and Angie McMahon, indie rock energy from DMA’S and Holy Holy, and a pool of popular RnB, electronica and DJ sets, Groovin spread wide its artistic calibre.
