Kylie Minogue’s golden year continues with a headlining spot at Splendour in the Grass 2024, Australia’s famous mid-winter camping festival.

The pop superstar will headline the first night of Splendour, slated for Friday, July 19 to Sunday, July 21, at Ngarindjin / North Byron Parklands. U.S. hip-hop star Future is the Saturday night headliner, and Canadian alt-rock heroes Arcade Fire top the bill on the third and final night.

Kylie has been spinning around since the release last year of Tension, her 16th studio album. Tension blasted to No. 1 in Australia and the U.K. where it became her ninth leader, and its hit “Padam Padam” cracked the U.K. top 10.

The party never stopped. Her Las Vegas residency, the More Than Just a Residency show at Voltaire at the Venetian, has been extended through May; she collected her second Grammy Award last month, and the BRITs Global Icon award at the 2024 BRIT Awards in England; she recently signed with United Talent Agency (UTA) for live representation in the U.S. and Canada and acting roles worldwide; and last week, she was celebrated with the Icon Award at the Billboard Women in Music event and, separately, joined Madonna on stage during the Queen of Pop’s five-night stand at the Kia Forum.

Also on the bill for this year’s Splendour is Girl In Red, Yeat, Turnstile, G Flip, The Last Dinner Party, Tash Sultana, Fontaines D.C. and many more.

Established in 2001 and held each year in Byron Bay, a dreamy beach town on the most easterly tip of Australia, Splendour is a destination event. It hasn’t been a dream for organizers Secret Sounds in recent years. The popular fest was announced, then shelved several times during the pandemic. Then, in 2022, extreme weather conditions wrecked the first day of Splendour 2022, contributing to softer-than-usual ticket sales for the 2023 edition.

Tickets for Splendour 2024 go on sale from Thursday, March 21 via moshtix.com.au, with the SITG members pre-sale opening March 14. Single day tickets are priced at A$179 (plus fees), three-day tickets are $399 (plus fees), camping tickets cost $159 (plus fees) and the premium “VIP Village VIP” three-day ticket is A$599 (plus fees).
