Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Tove Lo, Little Simz + More Announce Splendour In The Grass 2023 Sideshows

Secret Sounds has just announced the Festival Sideshows lineup for this July, featuring a host of impressive names from Splendour in the Grass 2023.

With a diverse range of genres from indie-rock to hip-hop and pop-punk, the sideshows are set to be a highlight of the Australian music calendar.

Kicking things off are Yeah Yeah Yeahs, who will be performing headline shows in Melbourne and Sydney with support from explosive LA rockers Automatic. 

Yeah Yeah Yeahs will be bringing their high-energy performance to the stage, hot off the release of their fifth studio album, Cool it Down. The show will bring fans iconic hits such as Heads Will Roll, Date with the Night, and Maps, so it's sure to be one hell of a party. 

British songwriter Sam Fender will be taking to the stage in Perth, showcasing his euphoric, hard-hitting guitar anthems. His 2021 album Seventeen Going Under has seen major success, earning him multiple awards and a Mercury Prize nomination. Western Australians are in for a treat as they witness one of Britain's most celebrated and successful musicians of a generation.

Meanwhile, British rapper, singer and actress Little Simz will be performing headline shows in Melbourne and Sydney, following the release of her fourth album, Sometimes I Might Be Introvert. 

The album received critical acclaim, winning the 2022 Mercury Prize and earning her the 2022 Brit Award for Best New Artist. With her fifth album, NO THANKYOU, released in December, this is the perfect opportunity to experience her unique style and talent live.

Swedish singer Tove Lo will also be performing headline shows in Melbourne and Sydney with support from dreamy 3-piece, Blusher. With quintuple-platinum hit Habits (Stay High) and double-platinum Talking Body, Tove Lo has made waves worldwide with her platinum-certified 2014 full-length debut Queen of the Clouds. 

Multi-platinum-selling, chart-topping rising star iann dior will also be performing in Melbourne and Sydney, bringing his unique sound and talent to the stage. The artist's feature on the heavy-hitting 4 x platinum Mood with 24KGoldn reached the Top 10 and remained there for 10 weeks. 

Rainbow Kitten Surprise will also be gracing stages in Sydney and Melbourne, weaving together lyrical poetry, hummable melodies, and a rush of instrumental eccentricities. 

Noah Cyrus' powerful live performance is set to come to Sydney and Melbourne, bringing her pop spirit, folk eloquence, and country soul to the stage. Cyrus will be supported by her friend and collaborator PJ Harding.

Finally, multitalented singer-songwriter and violinist Brittney Denise Parks, also known as Sudan Archives, will be showcasing her unique blend of R&B, traditional African music, and experimental electronic sounds in Sydney and Melbourne. The Sudan Archives project has expanded to include a full band, praised for its genre-defying sound and socially conscious lyrics.
