Childish Gambino To Play Single Splendour Sideshow

Comedian-cum-rapper Donald Glover, aka Childish Gambino, has joined the list of Splendour In The Grass artists holding sideshows while they're in the country for the iconic three-day camping festival.

However, in contrast to most other acts playing gigs outside of Splendour, Childish Gambino fans will only have one non-festival-related opportunity to catch him in the flesh – he'll be putting on a headline show at Big Top Luna Park in Sydney on Sunday, July 27.

Childish Gambino is no doubt still riding high on the wave of praise for his acclaimed sophomore LP Because The Internet, which dropped in December last year and achieved both ARIA Top 40 and triple j Feature Album status, its cuts 3005 and Sweatpants doing great business for the rising rhymesmith.

Glover was a mainstay of cult comedy hit Community for its first four seasons, departing in the first half of the fifth to focus on other creative pursuits. It hurts to say, but it seems like it was a wise career move for the man after all.

Pre-sale tickets will be made available from noon this Friday, May 9, for members of Niche and/or My Live Nation. Check the links for more information on how to sign up, if you've not done so already.

The presale for Niche, My Live Nation and Ticketmaster members ends at 5pm on Sunday, May 11.

General release tickets will go on sale at 10am on Monday, May 12.
