Cut, Music | | July 19, 2017

This year’s Splendour lineup features some of the music world’s biggest names – from Haim, Lil Yachty and LCD Soundsystem, there’s literally no soundscape left unturned, nor any instrument left unplayed.

 

Although it is cool to hang by the Mainstage and bask in the glory of the world’s most famous and renowned artists, impressing your friends by dragging them along to see a DJ they’ve never heard of is even cooler. We promise.

 

To make your job easier we’ve compiled a list of the must see artists on the come up who’ll be spinning their tunes at Splendour.

 

DENA AMY

 

She’s already torn up the stages of Coachella, Falls, Beyond The Valley and Spilt Milk and has already featured on festival favourite RUFUS’ second album. Splendour will probably be your last time to see Dena Amy before she totally blows up.

 

 

KUREN

 

At just 19, Kuren’s (or Curtis Kennedy) unique breed of soulful electronic has earned him a slew of accolades including a J Award nomination for Unearthed Artist Of The Year. He’s already spent the majority of 2017 touring with Slumberjack and he’s released a new single ‘Mon Amour ft. Austen’ . What’ve you achieved this year?

 

 

KINDER

 

The Kinder girls will be warming up the mainstage in between acts so there are no excuses when it comes to catching them. Taking influence from acts like Lorde, The Cure, Fleetwood Mac and Peking Duk, they’re set to release a new EP this year.

 

 

SUPER CRUEL

 

Described as ‘the most iconic Australian duo since Savage Garden’, the producers have been working on music together since early 2016 and released this banger featuring Lisa Mitchell not long ago.

 

 

ANDY GARVEY

 

FBi’s resident electronic music expert knows what is up in the world of danceable beats and arm swinging melodies. She’s recently supported Florian Kupfer, Julio Bashmore and Mall Grab to name a few so expect her set to have the floor shaking with moving bodies.

 

 

SWINDAIL

 

Skrillex and Diplo have already given him the tick of approval so before this producer (dubbed by Billboard as “Australia’s Rising Star”) absolutely blows up, catch him during your Splendy Bendy.
