Kylie is headlining Splendour in the Grass

Oh yes she is! Global icon. Pop superstar. Kylie Minogue is set to take over the Splendour in the Grass Amphitheatre for the very first time!

Taking to the Splendour stage, Kylie Minouge will be the opening night headline act when she makes a triumphant return home and stamps her name in the annals of Splendour lore.

Splendour in the Grass (SITG), returns to Ngarindjin (North Byron Parklands) from Friday, 19 July to Sunday, 21 July for three days of camping, music, art and freedom.

Kylie will make sure you can’t get her outta your head when she takes to the Amphitheatre stage on Friday night for what is an exclusive Australian appearance and promises to be a show-stopping performance.

Saturday night will see Future, the mumble-rap pioneer headline.

‘Future has taken the music world by storm as one of the most-streamed artists in hip-hop, he’s a true pioneer of his genre, forging a path with his innovative auto-tuned anthems and top-tier collaborations. Fresh off the heels of winning two Grammy awards last month, including Best Rap Performance and Best Rap Song, for his chart-topping hit “Life Is Good” featuring Drake, Future’s performance promises to be nothing short of legendary,’ said SITG announcing their headline acts today.

To round off the all-star headline acts Arcade Fire, will be headlining Sunday’s epic finale with an explosion of indie-rock energy from Canada.

‘Alongside 11 Grammy nominations plus Brit Awards, Juno Awards, and the Polaris Music Prize, Arcade Fire have headlined some of the world’s most renowned music festivals, including Coachella, Glastonbury, and Primavera Sound,’ said SITG.

‘Their discography, which includes critically-acclaimed albums such as Funeral, The Suburbs and Reflektor, have earned praise from music critics and fans alike, solidifying their place in music history.’

Norwegian alt-pop phenomenon Girl In Red is set to take the stage after a successful run opening for Taylor Swift’s record-breaking Eras tour in the US. Californian breakout rapper Yeat, joins the lineup alongside hardcore groundbreakers Turnstile for an exclusive Australian performance.

Pop trio TV Girl make their way to Australia for the first time while one of electronic music’s most in-demand names, DJ Seinfeld, will also set the festival alight with an exclusive Australian set. And last but not least, The Last Dinner Party, the gothic romantic revivalists named BBC Radio 1’s Sound Of 2024, are set to premiere in Australia.

Splendour in the Grass isn’t just about the music – it’s a full-blown experience like no other!
