More about Splendour in the Grass festival
Splendour in the Grass was created as a collaboration between the music companies Village Sounds Agency and Secret Service, beginning as a one-day musical gathering during the winter. The festival's name is derived from the English poet William Wordsworth's poem Ode: Intimations of Immortality.
The festival grew in the following years, first as a two-day event in 2002 and then as the three-day event it currently is in 2009. It is now considered to be the largest Australian music festival.
Splendour in the Grass was acquired by NYSE listed Live Nation in 2014, a year after it moved to its present location of Yelgun. The festival's previous venues were the Byron Bay area and Woodford, Qld.
