FINAL SPLENDOUR RELEASES

Splendour In The Grass organisers can announce that a FINAL, STRICTLY LIMITED, ONLINE ONLY general release ticket sale will take place this FRIDAY JULY 7TH.

Splendour organisers offered refunds on tickets up until last Friday, June 30th. Refunded tickets then went into a special release of tickets to Byron Shire residents only, as a way of saying ’thanks’ to our host community. This release of tickets took place yesterday (Sunday 2nd July), but not all of the tickets were sold. Accordingly, Splendour In The Grass organisers have decided to break their own rule and do a final release of tickets for the general public.

From our email and telephone inquiries we know there are lots of people out there still keen to snare a ticket. There is only a strictly limited quantity of tickets up for grabs, so get online on Friday if you want one. There will be no further ticket releases and no tickets available at the venue.

Please note the same purchasing process will apply as with the original on sale date. ALL ticket holder’s names and dates of birth MUST be supplied at the time of purchase. Therefore, if you are purchasing tickets for friends, you will need to have their name (correctly spelt) plus their date of birth as listed on their relevant photo ID. So if you intend to buy tickets for 10 friends, you must supply their correct name and date of birth as per their photo identification at the time of purchase.

Final & Limited Online Ticket Release – Details:
When: Friday 7th July from 7.30am
How: ONLINE ONLY at www.splendourinthegrass.com
What: Splendour event tickets only (not camping tickets)
Limit: 10 per transaction – there are strictly no further ticket refunds
Cost: $160 (inc gst) + bf. The only accepted method of payment will be by credit card.

Dates:
Saturday July 22nd and Sunday July 23rd
Belongil Fields, Byron Bay

ANTISKEPTIC FINALLY RETURN

You’d be forgiven for wondering where Antiskeptic had disappeared to in recent times but the band has undergone a rebirth and is poised to return, bigger, better and more energised than ever before.

Rewind to 2004 and the release of their second album Aurora – recorded without original bassist Sean Daly who had left to pursue other interests – the album found favour with radio programmers around the country and tracks from the album dominated Triple J’s Net 50.

The subsequent tours using fill in bassists boasted a heavier rock edge, set venues alight and featured hot young support bands including Gyroscope, Kisschasy and After The Fall.

Fast forward to 2006 and after some serious soul searching, the original band is back and re-energised – the chemistry between all three members has been re-ignited.

With a new EP Monuments already at the pressing plant boasting some of the most focused songs the band have committed to tape, Antiskeptic are set to get back in the van and wow Australian punters once again.

After seven years playing music together and their fair share of ups and downs, the band has never felt more alive.

Dates:
Friday 28 July - Ruby’s Lounge Belgrave, Melbourne (w/ Angelas Dish and Goodnight Combat Fighter)
Friday 4 August - East Brunswick Club, Melbourne (w/ Angelas Dish)
Saturday 5 August - Enigma Bar, Adelaide (w/ Sumi and Move to Strike)
Thursday 10 August - The Troubadour, Brisbane (w/ Angelas Dish)
Friday 11 August - Spectrum, Sydney (w/ Angelas Dish)
Saturday 12 August - Northern Star, Newcastle (w/ Angelas Dish)
