Bringing over 50 of the world’s most recognised artists to your screens, performing inside a true-to-life digital recreation of Splendour’s North Byron Parklands site.
Splendour in the Grass has just announced its new venture, Splendour XR – a world-first extended reality festival set to take place next month.
With the hallmark Australian festival having to constantly reschedule its next edition, initially from its July 2020 date to October 2020, then to July 2021, and once again to its current date from Friday, November 19 to Sunday, November 21, 2021, Splendour took to the whiteboard and came up with a revolutionary idea.
