Some of these activities will include the Comedy Club, long table dining, specialty bars, art installations, markets, Little Splendour kid program, a Freak VR room pop up and more!

Events taking place in the Customs and Cargo Halls will be ticketed, however, entry to the general event area is free, allowing guests the option to swing by throughout the nine-day festival.

Organisers have promised ‘backstage vibes‘ that can be experienced through a recreation of the Strummer Bar, previously exclusive to the festival’s artists.

The proceeds from all ticketed events will go towards the artists in this Government funded fiesta.

The capacity for Customs Hall is 900, while Cargo Hall can house a smaller, more intimate space for 400 lucky guests.

This news follows the announcement of Splendour XR, where the popular festival will go virtual over two days, from Saturday 24 July to Sunday 25 July.

The event will see virtual versions of the North Byron Parklands site, where international and Aussie artists will unite in this musical melting pot.

Splendour XR will feature Khalid, The Killers, Violent Soho, Tash Sultana, Charlie XCX and Grimes amongst others.

The main event has been pushed forward to November, in the hopes that the covid-19 pandemic does not result in its postponement.

The line-up, which will spill out over nine-days, and will feature the following acts in the respective locations:
