The Splendour bender continues this week, bringing not only some monolithic international talent to Sydney, but also some great Australian talent as both headliners and support acts. Some shows have already sold out – sincerest condolences to Purity Ring, MØ, Elliphant and Gengahr fans who missed out! – but there’s still a pretty great crop of music to check out. Catch the likes of The Vaccines and Shlohmo alongside some smaller but no less wonderful acts like Green Buzzard and Baro (pictured).
