TAKING THE DRAG OUT OF LOOKING GREAT AT SPLENDOUR What every festival needs is a bit of fun, and Astrud and Betty plan to deliver that in spades at this year’s Splendour in the Grass. Astrud, aka Ron from Byron Hair, will play hairdresser extraordinaire to Betty from Bettina’s Beauty & Make-Up’s goddessness when they present you to the world as an angel or a rockstar. Astrud and Betty met 11 years ago at a 40-something birthday party and these days do hair and makeup for weddings around the shire, but this new venture is fresh for the festival. ‘Angels & Rockstars is just fairly new,’ says Betty. ‘We’ve just pulled it out of the hat really. The pop-up salon is the place to get a rocking hair cut, falsies of the lashest kind, a trimmed and styled mo or beard, 15-minute makeovers, big hair and luscious lips – and that’s just for starters. ‘We’re going to be doing party makeup’, says Betty. ‘We’ve got lots of face jewellery, glitter and lovely lashes and then of course we’ve got
the very glamorous air-brushing giving a flawless camera-ready finish.’ ‘We want to give everyone a personalised look,’ says Astrud. ‘We’re locals and we want to make people feel fabulous and Byronised. Astrud says she is also offering beard trims and moustache trims and all sorts of hair advice for men. ‘That bloody Ned Kelly beard? I’m sorry, THAT needs a trim, but I’ll only be doing “upstairs” not “downstairs” if you know what I mean. And I’ll help you get out all those “rooters knots” too!’ Astrud will come armed with more than 60 wigs and hair extensions will be the order of the day. ‘We just want to “rock chick” everyone one up. And then do some “man-overs”. ‘We also want to take care of the “glampers” who are staying over,’ says Betty. ‘They can come to us in the morning and with freshly washed hair and face and we can get them completely sorted out for the day.’ The Angels & Rockstars salon will
also stock makeup, so if you left your eyeliner and lippy at home, they can hook you up with dozens of shades, or if you want to try some lashes they will have what you need. This is the first time Astrud will be doing hair with her drag on and, though she loves Mandy Nolan’s cast-off heels, she will lower her standards and her height for a demure pair of Lady Di flats that can manage a long day at the office. Don’t miss the chance to unleash your inner angel or rockstar at Splendour in the Grass this year. You can find Astrud and Betty and their Angels & Rockstars extravaganza in the Artisans Alley of the Global Village.

THE MUSIC! The Music! This year’s Splendour in the Grass is the vortex of awesome in music for 2015. From local lad Xavier Rudd to gorgeous god Mark Ronson, Splendour this year will rock your socks and soothe your soul… Speaking of gods, Grammy award-winning super-producer, musician and DJ Mark Ronson has been behind a wave of hits by the likes of Lily Allen, Kaiser Chiefs, Adele, Paul McCartney and Amy Winehouse to name a few. Late 2014 he released his fourth studio album Uptown Special and the single Uptown Funk, featuring Bruno Mars. Robson visited our shores earlier this year, played a few DJ sets and charmed the shiz out of all and sundry. He’s about to drop a second single Feel Right, featuring New Orleans rapper Mystikal. Hot damn, call the police and the firemen! The perennially sharp Mr Mark Ronson is on his way to Byron Bay to bring the party to Splendour’s Amphitheatre!
Florence & The Machine
It’s been 18 years since they last played to Australian audiences and 16 years since their last album as a four-piece: Blur are back and ready to rock Splendour in the Grass! Since 1989 Damon Albarn, Graham Coxon, Alex James and Dave Rowntree have been the undisputed kings of Brit-rock. Announcing their arrival with debut album Leisure in 1991 and follow-up release Modern Life Is Rubbish (1993), Blur revolutionised the sound of English popular music. Five successive UK number-one albums followed helping to propel the band to mass popularity around the world – see them wrap up Sunday in the Grass. Florence & The Machine’s 2009 debut album Lungs was an instant hit, kicking off a marathon five years of touring, promoting and back-to-back recording including 2011’s Ceremonials and its singles Shake It Out, Never Let Me Go and Spectrum (Say My Name). They went to number one in the UK and took out Album Of The Year at the 2010 Brit Awards, were nominated for Grammys and played festivals across the globe including a jam-packed Woodford Amphitheatre at Splendour 2010. The shows got bigger, the hair redder, the success wider and wilder. Now after a year off and with a new album How Big How Blue How Beautiful ready to drop in on Splendour’s Saturday.

Mark Ronson
Iceland’s Of Monsters and Men grabbed the world’s attention in 2011 with their highly infectious smash hit single Little Talks and its equally awesome video. The Icelandic quintet’s debut album My Head Is An Animal climbed to the top of the Billboard Top 200 and has sold more than two million albums worldwide. They have played festivals across the globe and hit the stage at Splendour in the Grass 2015!

Apart from all the phenomenal music that will play at this year’s Splendour in the Grass the list of extra-musical activities just grows and grows ensuring that your Splendour stay is so much more than way too much fun…
Comedy COMEDY They say laughter is the best medicine and, while medically that might not be true, after overwhelming success last year, The Splendour Comedy Club is back in 2015 with four massive shows across the festival.
With more than 30 hand-picked comedians bringing killer laughs to North Byron Parklands, this is the biggest comedy show we’ve ever done, and the biggest line-up of comedians at any music festival in Australia. We’ve wrangled 30 comedians from all over Australia to delight, entertain, and reveal themselves emotionally to you in a cavalcade of comedy. Featuring people you know off the tele such as Celia Pacquola (Utopia) and all your Triple J faves including Matt Okine, Alex Dyson, Veronica Milsom, Lewis Hobba, Gen Fricker and Michael Hing, as well as some of the best emerging artists in the country, this enormous line-up has something for everyone, unless you’re a joyless wonder, in which case, why are you here? Who invited you? Ugh, you always do this. Last year this tent was packed with people (and LOLs), so get in early to grab a seat, and enjoy a line-up full of the best chuckle-masters the country has to offer.
ARTS Arts Come July the fields of North Byron Parklands will become a canvas bursting with so much more than astonishing live musical performances. Each year the Splendour Arts program provides some of the most unexpected, unforgettable and Instagram-breaking festival moments from some of the world’s most innovative and boundarypushing contemporary artists. From performance installations, handcrafted micro-universes, epic inflatable sculptures and of course Splendour’s much-loved Tent of Miracles – one of Splendour Arts’ magical moments is never far away; you just have to keep your eyes peeled and Snapchat open. Splendour In The Grass is proud to unveil Splendour Arts 2015… With so much to see and feel there is – Anabaptister – Bennett Miller live art installation, Nicolas Cage In A Cage – inflatable sculpture, You C*nt Stop The Music – Andy

Forbes and James Dabrowski, Tent of Miracles, performance, Post Digital Ruins Tom Borgas and outdoor installation/performance, Treasure Mountain – Pip & Pop Sculptural Landscapes, and so much more before the glitter sets in.
CRAFTS Crafts Just when you thought the glitter aftermath was over, we’re back to shower you with shiny sh*t all over again! Yep, it’s time to dust off your hot-glue guns! Splendour In The Craft is back with all the good not-so-clean fun that had the tent jam-packed for the entire festival last year. Get ready to flex your makin’ skills with a craftastic array of workshops from some of Australia’s premier craft freedom fighters – high fives to you Beci Orpin, Kitiya Palaskas, Fancy Free, Meet Make Create, Each to Their Own, Regular Wildcat and Craft Mafia! Roll on up to Splendour In The Craft and get busy making Smash Those Bad Dream Catchers, Cool As F#%k Charm Bracelets, Pimp your Sunnies and Gum Boots, The People’s Republic of You Pennant and Flag Making and sew much more!
Forums FORUMS The Splendour Forum presented by The Guardian returns in 2015 with more meaty, spicy treats for your mental appetite. Some of today’s most prominent and interesting thinkers, politicians, musicians and activists feature on this year’s intriguing menu with live discussion panels, debates, interviews, Q&A sessions, secular sermons, literary salons, scientific talks and more. 10am–4pm daily. What happens when a few good men (and women) stand up to wrongdoing in the world’s most secret agencies? The Keynote interview is with John Kiriakou, who was a director of CIA counterterrorism operations in Pakistan after the September 11 attacks and the first agent to reveal the CIA had been torturing prisoners and that torture was official US government policy approved by President George W Bush. The president denied it – and was shown by the Senate Intelligence Committee to have lied. The revelation cost Kiriakou

Kiriakou is joined by lawyer and former ACT attorney-general Bernard Collaery, who is defending ‘K’, an ASIS agent who revealed Australia used its state spies to bug the cabinet room of one of the world’s poorest nations, East Timor, to benefit a big oil company. In response, ASIO raided Collaery and Witness K and seized K’s passport, preventing him from giving damning evidence at the International Court of Justice in a case brought by the people of East Timor. The pair chat to whistleblower expert and author Dr Suelette Dreyfus, who wrote Underground with Julian Assange, about what can go wrong when spy agencies can hide behind their veils of secrecy.
