Splendour: The First Hours In Photos

Just hours in to this year's Splendour In The Grass and its been an interesting ride already. Putting the massive hail storm and subsequent sea of mud to one side there's been some stunning performances, and Stephen Booth has been on hand to capture them.

See the full gallery here, but here's a taste:

Interesting not about Emma from theMusic.com.au editor Dan Condon. "Just told a girl she missed Emma Louise and she started crying. Her boyfriend came over and made pretend sex moves. It didn't cheer her up."

Wonder how she fared in the storm that was about to punish the festival. Pic by Stephen Booth.
