Splendour in the Grass Lineup Announced


Mumford and Sons
Finally. After months of rumours and speculation it is finally here. The Splendour in the Grass lineup for 2013!

Back in Byron Bay for the second year running, Splendour intends to make this year the biggest one yet with the lineup toting names such as Grammy award winning Frank Ocean, and renowned international acts such as Mumford and Sons, Passion Pit and Monsters and Men. 
Believe it or not, Frank Ocean

But never fear locals – there are many Australian acts on the bill, such as electronic heavyweights The Presets. Other Australian artists include Flume, The Rubens, Boy and Bear and Birds Of Tokyo.

However the rumours regarding the 2013 lineup are not to stop – there is a ‘mystery band’ yet to be announced. Instead of a latter ‘a’ on the lineup, there is this symbol instead: ∆. After all, if you press the keys ‘alt’ and ‘j’ on your keyboard, this happens: ∆. Accident? I think not. If you press the ‘alt’ key and the letter ‘j’ key on your keyboard, that is what you get. ∆. (Go on - try it. I have to admit as soon as I found this out I gave it a shot).

So word about town is that it very may well be English indie band Alt-J. Or Daft Punk, as they have been known to use the ∆ symbol. But as Alt-J are touring over that weekend, with a gig on the 27th and their next gig on the 30th of July it just makes sense.
