Official Splendour In The Grass Pre-Party: Brisbane

Overview

You've gotta love a pre-festival party. It's the shindig that caters for both of the two groups that every event like Splendour forces the population into: those who are about to head to Byron Bay for a weekend of muddy music mayhem, and those who missed out on a ticket.

Whichever camp you fall into, you can either get a jump start on the fun or distract yourself from the envy to come at the Official Splendour In The Grass Pre-Party: Brisbane. Just put on your dancing shoes, head to the Triffid, and enjoy an evening of live tunes from Years & Years, Lido, Moonbase Commander and Twinsy.

Yep, it's the closest you can get to the real thing without hanging around outside the North Byron Parklands from Friday to Sunday hoping you can overhead some of the action — but hey, who wants to do that? And, it's also an alternative for everyone who didn't get in quick enough to go to Byron equivalent, complete with a set by The Avalanches, that's on the same night.
