Splendour 2010 Lineup - First Announcement!

With the annual Splendour in the Grass just around the corner, it was only fitting that a lineup release wasn't too far off the crossing; this morning, organisers released the much-anticipated lineup, which isn't looking too shabby really. Splendour is becoming almost synonymous with the northern hemisphere's summer touring calendar, with many bands making pit-stops on the green and gold shores whilst on whirlwind tours of the northern continents.

Celebrating its 10th anniversary over a very special (and massive!) three-day camping and music extravaganza in the serene hills of Woodfordia, an hour and a half drive north of Brisbane in the beautiful Sunshine Coast hinterlands, organisers have billed over sixty bands for punters to feast their lusts and loves upon. So, without further adieu, the first announcement for Splendour in the Grass 2010 is:
