Overview
Splendour in the Grass might be over for another year and festival season still a blip on the horizon, but in the meantime here's a great opportunity to invest in some home-grown talent and have a killer weekend while you're at it. A brand new three-night festival, dubbed Against the Grain, is being organised by local indie publication Grain and will be held at Bakery Lane in Fortitude Valley on August 18-21.
The lineup is headed by Brisbane honies Major Leagues, who'll be joined by ambient up-and-comers Twin Haus, the Jensens, Emerson Snowe and many more. The acts will be joined on stages by a visual installation designed local artists collective CORFLUTE. You can grab a two-day pass for $30.
Here's the full three-day lineup.
Friday night (free): Simi Lacroix, Alex L'Estrange, Jack Thomas and Moodie Gloom.
Saturday night ($20 + bf): Major Leagues, Twin Haus, The Jensens, Big Bad Echo, Vulture Circus, PYNES, In Real Life and Moon Biscuit.
Sunday night ($15 + bf): Good Morning, Big Dead, Emerson Snowe, Jess Locke, Pool Shop, McKisko, Self Care and Sleep Club.
