Splendour 2011

After much speculation and a pathetic attempt at bodging a fake line up, Splendour In The Grass 2011 have announced the official line up. Splendour In The Grass 2011 will return to the glorious site at Woodfordia and be held from Friday 29th July through til Sunday 31st July.

Of course the addition of Coldplay as a headliner would lead to protests in the street if it were not for Kanye West restoring balance to the world. But I won't whinge too much, one man's dream line up is another man's nightmare so it's all swings and round-a-bouts.

Fingers crossed some of the White boys will be heading to Splendour to cover everything and we will be featuring some of our choice picks in the lead up to Australia's premiere musical event. For now I'll leave my favourite choices in bold colour.

If you're feeling dirty and violated after making the mistake of attending Big Day Out, buying a ticket to Splendour In The Grass 2011 is the perfect confessional.

Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective. - James 5:16
