Oh, come on, can’t it be Friday already?! We’re meticulously planning our schedules for this weekend’s Splendour in the Grass experience, and while we haven’t locked in our every move (rigidity is the bane of festival fun) we’ve got a decent selection of essentials that we’re absolutely sure we’re going to be checking out.
