First up, the day-by-day breakdown of the 2016 lineup has arrived. This is particularly important for those wishing to buy a single day ticket – although all three days are looking to be absolute belters. Opening day Friday, July 22 will see headliners The Strokes joined by Australian legends The Avalanches, as well as James Vincent McMorrow. For all three acts, Splendour will be their only Australian show.
Saturday, July 23 has to be our favourite of the three, with The Cure, At The Drive-In, What So Not, Gang of Youths and The Meeting Tree. Sunday, July 24 will see electronic heavyweights like Duke Dumont and Golden Features, while Flume will be closing the main stage and ending the festivities for 2016.
For those worrying about how to get to and from the festival, there’s information about shuttle services and vehicle passes right here.
