Two of the world’s festival heavyweights dropped their much-anticipated 2015 lineups yesterday.
Australia’s own Splendour in the Grass, to be held at the North Byron Parklands from 24-26 July, announced Brit-pop pack Blur, indie darlings (and recent Coachella feature) Florence + The Machine and Uptown Funk super-producer Mark Ronson as headliners for the three-day event.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the globe, Glastonbury dropped a lineup like Splendour on steroids.
Florence + The Machine and Mark Ronson will also headline the UK festival, to be held from 24-28 June at Worthy Farm, England, and will be joined by the likes of Foo Fighters, (former Splendour headliner) Kanye West, Lionel Richie, Motorhead, Alabama Shakes, The Chemical Brothers, Patti Smith, Pharrell Williams, Alt-J, FKA Twigs and Mary J. Blige.
Other festival crossovers include Ryan Adams, Azealia Banks and Death Cab For Cutie.
