Splendour in the Grass

Splendour in the Grass remains Australia’s premier winter music destination, drawing over 35,000 attendees annually to Byron Bay’s North Byron Parklands. Its 2026 lineup features a record 12 international headliners across six stages, outperforming #2 Bluesfest by offering a broader genre span—from indie rock to electronic. Tickets for the three-day event cost $499, a 15% increase from 2025, yet sell out within hours. The festival’s 10-year average artist rating of 4.7 stars on review platforms exceeds the national average of 4.2 for major events, solidifying its top-tier status.
