Intro

Wow. Here we are. You, me and 50,000 other beautiful people at Splendour in the Grass 2022. Can you believe

it? We’re here. We survived the pandemic and we’re all here in the North Byron Parklands, together, holding hands, forming a giant circle and singing that song hippies used to sing. On a scale of one to ten, you must be stoked to the power of infinity. Thank God, we made it. Thank Vishnu! Thank Allah, Buddha, Poseidon, Athena, Hermes, Johnny Marr, and Zeus. We made it. And The Strokes made it! As did

Tyler, The Creator, Liam Gallagher, DMA’s, Genesis Owusu, Amyl and The Sniffers, The Chats, Gorillaz, Glass Animals, Sax Pest, Orville Peck, Parquet Courts, Yungblud, Slayer, The Velvet Underground, Beethoven, KISS, Lord Buckley, Lenny Bruce, Van Halen, The Shirelles, Lead Belly, Peter Sarstedt, Chaka Khan, Billy Peach & The Magic Boys, Radiohead, Alice Coltrane, Trish Picnic, Carl Vanderdonk’s Eczema Circus, Speedway Johnson, Skinny Puppy, War Bong, Those Pathetic Crabs, Madonna, W.A.S.P., and The Purdue All-American Marching Band. They’re all here. Some in spirit, but mostly in physical form.

The most important entity to make it Splendour in the Grass 2022, though, is

you. And after all you’ve been through these last couple of years—you deserve it. On behalf of Monster Children and Splendour in the Grass, I hope you have one of the best

weekends of your gosh-darn life. x Crom
