Hey, are you heading along to Splendour In The Grass this year? It’s okay, there’s a fair chance that you’re one of the plenty of eager punters who sadly missed out on tickets to this year’s fest. But don’t let it get you down, because with every great festival comes one of the sweetest words in the music lover’s vocabulary – sideshows.

Yes, while some of this year’s Splendour headliners such as Lorde, Khalid, and Vampire Weekend are taking the one-and-done approach to their Aussie tour, others have decided to delight us by announcing a run of extra shows for fans who can’t make it up to Byron Bay this year.

While Adelaide punters recently received the news that the Spin Off Festival is making its long-awaited return, others will undoubtedly be looking for that big-name act coming to a venue near them. Well, stop your searching and point your peepers downward, where you’ll find a comprehensive list of all the Splendour In The Grass sideshows coming your way this year.
