Splendour, Gender, and Things to Remember

Hey mud legs, welcome back to reality.

There, there my child, it's gonna be okay. It's time to let go of the dream, cut off the wristband, delete the app, get those mud stains out of your clothes and pls, scrub under your fingernails, it's all over for another year. If you notice a significantly somber mood taking over your hometown this week it's because PSD (post-splendour-depression) has officially set in nation-wide. #dontcrybecauseitsoversmilebecauseithappened

Splendour in the Grass continues to grow and outdo itself year after year and this one was some kind of amazing. Reminiscing about the past weekend feels deeply bittersweet. This year's lineup was a dream, the most notable thing about it was the number of incredible females who absolutely killed the game, big ups SITG for that win.

The ladies I caught were; KLP, Tired Lion, Ecca Vandal, George Maple, Tkay Maidza, Eves The Behaviour, Elliphant, Meg Mac, Purity Ring, Azealia Banks, Owl Eyes for Flight Facilities, Florence & The Machine, Valis Alps, MØ, MS MR, Alison Wonderland and GL (shout out to Ella Thompson for also stepping up during Mark Ronson's set, nbd). Each one of these ovary-bearers are on fire atm and proved to promoters everywhere that girls can pull some of the biggest, rowdiest crowds going around.

As well as that, the amount and standard of homegrown talent on display was something to make me so proud I could sing the national anthem and learn it's 2nd verse. Shout out to everyone brewing music in Australia rn, ily all.

Here is a list of other things I took away from #SITG2015

• The Mix Up Tent became a giant game of stuck in the mud

• The Amphitheatre became a giant slip 'n slide

• Monte Morgan could be Freddie Mercury/ Meg Mac could be a singing Coco Chanel

• MS MR were the smiliest band there and they'll make you wanna cry

• Mark Ronson > rain

• Everyone who swerved Flight Facilities absolutely kooked it

• You can never be sad as long as there is confetti 

• Elliphant and MØ were the token bad bitches

• Cameraman became the MVP after catching bikey boi during The Bike Song

• Tipi Forest/Tent of Miracles is home to the freakiest ppl and most graceful dancers

• Florence Welch is a fiery-haired-swan-angel 

• UV Boi sets have no chill

• Swick & Lewis Cancut b2b's tickle all my tastebuds 

• V rare Triple J Tune Rags are Australian gold 

• Nothing beats a good +1,000 person clap along 

• When you think you have enough baby wipes, you don't. Pack more.

• Sometimes a mysterious stranger will shit behind your tent other times they will fall on it and snap your pole #fabulous 

• LUV IS IN THE AIR!

I'm too sad to go on so i'm gonna go watch highlight videos, cry, try to get my life back together and apologise to my body for the next few days. Next stop Maroochydore Music & Arts Festival. c u there.
