One of Australia’s largest musical festivals is in full swing, with a sea of pink seemingly taking up New South Wales’ North Byron Parklands.
Visibly much less muddy than earlier years, Splendour within the Grass 2023 is being headlined by the likes of pop famous person Lizzo and Australia’s personal DJ and producer Flume.
And the discharge of the Barbie film seems to have had an affect on attendees, with pink the standout color amongst outfits.
Last 12 months’s aptly nicknamed ‘Splendour in the Mud’ oversaw a illness outbreak, flooding of campsites, transport mayhem, and the cancellation of a complete day of music.
Concertgoers seemingly held a grudge this 12 months, with ticket gross sales down 30 per cent.
Days earlier than the occasion round 35,000 tickets had been offered — in comparison with 50,000 final 12 months.
Splendour co-producer Jessica Ducrou stated stilted gross sales had been doubtless a mirrored image of the present price of dwelling disaster, telling the ABC the numbers had been “a reflection of the current economy”.
“We are seeing a lot of people buying single-day tickets rather than three days and that is very much a reflection on the budget,” she stated.
“No doubt last year’s experiences have impacted on sales as well.”
The three-day competition kicked off with a shocking sight, after Lizzo paused her Friday night time set to signal a fan’s backside.
The singer noticed the signal within the crowd which learn ‘Lizzo, can you sign my arse and I’ll get it tattooed’.
“All right, it’s time to sign your arse,” the famous person stated, and promptly obliged.
