We're just over a month out from Splendour In The Grass 2016, so it's natural that organisers are drip-feeding even more information about the sold-out event to gear up punters around Australia.

Returning in 2016 will be the Global Village, this year with new facets such as the World Stage and Bohemian Lounge. The World Stage will feature exciting world fusion acts to get your ears around, such as Bustamento, The Cambodian Space Project, Kalidad and heaps more, while the Bohemian Lounge will be a chillout spot to grab some Hari Hari Chai and take part in some dance/cultural workshops.

The Global Village will also feature the Healing Sanctuary for your massage and tarot reading needs, The Village Green for circus classes, the Electric Garden Silent Disco to dance like no one's watching, the Gyuto Gompa so you can heed the wisdom of the Gyuto Monks of Tibet and the Minjungbal Gunyah, where the Aboriginal custodians of the local regions will share their stories. 

Splendour's haven for underground and alternative beats, the Tipi Forest will be enchanting you once more this year, with a slew of trance, dance hall, glitch hop and more producers slated in to perform. This year you can catch the likes of Autopilot, Dreamstate, Psywalker, Opiou (DJ set), Short Circuit and more. The Tipi Forest will also feature performance artists and visual artists.
