A message from Splendour in the Grass...
@SITG SITG, this must have been a difficult decision. 😢 I was so looking forward to being there and all of us having the best time. Oz, I’m looking forward, now more than ever, to be home and playing shows for you.
@SITG Very sorry to hear this. I know the enormous effort and love your team put into this event. 😢💔
@SITG The old Splendour & BDO had more headline acts & you got more bang for your buck. Very hard to keep prices down when international acts keep asking for more money b/c of the low $ AU.. It's not an easy market for festivals & hopefully there is a model that works in the future.
@SITG Maybe next year? We should be so lucky, lucky lucky lucky?
@SITG The rich high profile entertainers still want their big bucks to show up. And Whats new …. 👎🏻
@SITG Artist A sells 100,000 albums for $20 each and gets 20% =$400k. Goes on a tour to promote album sales for next to nothing - happy to do it at cost. Artist B gets a million streams on Spotify and gets 0.3cents per stream = $3000. Needs to charge a lot to tour. Blame Spotify.
