A Genre By Genre Breakdown Of Splendour In The Grass 2019 Sideshows: Rock

Splendour In The Grass isn’t Australia’s most hyped festival for nothing. It’s an absolute extravaganza that spotlights the biggest stars in music as they gather in North Byron Parklands for a celebration of music from around the corner to across the globe.

2019’s event is no different, with the likes of Childish Gambino, Chance The Rapper and our very own Tame Impala headlining. On top of that, there’s a whole stack of other local and international acts to get pumped about. But, as tickets for the festival have already sold out, there’s plenty of people around the country who’ve missed out. Luckily, plenty of acts on the bill are taking their music to major cities for some very special sideshows, and we’re giving you a complete guide to these must see performances. And to make things that much easier, we’re giving it to you genre-by-genre.

UPDATE 30/04/19: Catfish and The Bottleman have added a Newcastle show. Details below.

ROCK

Splendour’s iconic Amphitheatre stage has been home to some absolutely legendary acts. But, no matter the weather, some of the stage’s most memorable moments have been thanks to anthemic singalongs and searing guitar riffs. Luckily, plenty of stadium-ready rock bands are playing this year’s festival, and those same bands are taking their loud tunes on the road for some killer sideshows as well. From the glorious choruses of Foals, Catfish and The Bottlemen and Sam Fender, to the psychedelic throwback of The Nude Party to the relentless thrash of FIDLAR – there’s something for the headbanger in all of us.
