SPLENDOUR DOWNLOAD CLUB
Taken from mini-masterpiece “Go Forth, Find Mammoth” by Whitley, album track ‘Bright White Lights’ gently pulses and pops as it struggles against the inevitable but finds solace in the hope-laden refrain ‘I will make it through this’. Bold in it’s scope and deft in its execution, Bright White Lights epitomises the grand, rich sonic palette of his new album.

What's it all about?

Let the party begin! SPLENDOUR IN THE GRASS, one of Australia’s most celebrated music festivals is set to commemorate its 10-year anniversary with its most exciting event yet.

It’s hard to believe it’s been 10 years since the little event called SPLENDOUR IN THE GRASS made its debut in Byron Bay. The mid winter event which consistently featured quality music acts alongside quirky arts and counter-culture was quickly embraced by music lovers. In the ensuing years SPLENDOUR IN THE GRASS has featured a spectacular collection of awesome artists from around the globe and has reached icon status, with tickets selling out within minutes of going on sale.

Fast-forward to 2010 and the beautiful site of WOODFORDIA in the QLD Sunshine Coast hinterland will play host to SPLENDOUR IN THE GRASS in this very special anniversary year. And this year, the birthday party will take place over three magnificent days from Friday July 30th to Sunday August 1st 2010.

This year, for the first time, we’re proud to serve up our much-anticipated line-up on one big, fat platter. That’s more than 80 acts that will perform across our three main stages – the Amphitheatre, Mix Up Tent and G.W. McLennan Stage.

But first, we need to provide detail on the all-important event ticket and camping information, which has changed for the 2010 event.

The capacity at Woodfordia is 30,000, with enough room on site for 20,000 campers. As a result, there will be a combined event and camping ticket available for the first time. The event/camping ticket will provide access to the campgrounds from Wednesday 28th July with the actual event site opening 4pm Thursday 29th July until 12 midday on Monday 2nd August. Please note the Amphitheatre, Mix Up and McLennan stages will be operating on Friday, Saturday and Sunday only.

The Woodfordia campground will be the most convenient and affordable place to stay during the event. All you need is on site in our splendid mini-city, right on your grassy doorstep. Come join the organisers, crew, staff and many of the artists who will also be camping out under the stars.

Those who are not camping with us can purchase an event-only ticket that will provide entry to the festival from Friday 30th July to Sunday 1st August. However, we would strongly recommend that you do your research before choosing this option. Unless you’re lucky enough to live nearby or can stay with somebody who does, then you will need to be prepared to travel quite a distance each day from other centres of accommodation.

We will again give audience members the opportunity to offset their travel emissions to and from SPLENDOUR IN THE GRASS. We’ve had an overwhelming response to this unique environmental initiative in the past and we’re sure that our carbon crusading audience members will continue to fight the good fight.

Can I Offset My Emissions This Year?
This year the SPLENDOUR IN THE GRASS Carbon Offset Ticket allows patrons to offset some or all of their travel emissions. The $3.00 cost of the Carbon Offset Ticket covers vehicle travel emissions (based on a 2.0 litre family sedan) up to 350km. If an audience member has to travel more than this distance to attend the show, they are encouraged to offset these additional emissions with our carbon offset partner, Climate Friendly.
 
Buying a SPLENDOUR IN THE GRASS Carbon Offset Ticket is simple. When event tickets go on sale at 9am EST Thursday May 6th ticket buyers need to log onto www.moshtix.com.au (or phone 1300 GET TIX 438 849) where they will see the Carbon Offset Ticket option for both event-camping and event-only tickets. Anyone wishing to purchase a Carbon Offset Ticket must simply select this option. This year's event and camping tickets will be delivered to buyers by email using a moshtix e-ticket. The benefits of this include reducing paper usage, greenhouse gas emissions and ticket scalping as well as reducing the cost of delivery for ticket buyers.
