Perth’s own Tame Impala will headline a massive Splendour in the Grass line up alongside Childish Gambino and Chance the Rapper, for the three day festival taking place from Friday, July 19 to Sunday, July 21 at North Byron Parklands in Yelgun, just north of Byron Bay.
Much interest centres around the inclusion of The Streets, who reformed in 2017 and make their anticipated return to Australia. Other internationals of note include SZA, James Blake, Foals, Wolf Alice, Warpaint, Tycho, Little Simz, Catfish and the Bottlemen, Santigold, Slaves, Charly Bliss, Friendly Fires and The Lumineers.
The WA contingent led by Tame Impala also includes Pond, Psychedelic Porn Crumpets and expats Tropical Fuck Storm, whose frontman Gareth Liddiard started out playing in Perth bands. No word on local side shows as yet.
