A special treat coming this Friday.

Splendour In The Grass will return in 2023, but that's not all: the festival is allowing fans to secure tickets for next year's event at 2022 prices to celebrate Black Friday.

This year's Splendour In The Grass festival celebrated its 20th anniversary with a brilliant line-up that punters fought through the mud to watch.

Headlining the Sunday of this year's edition was Tyler, The Creator. He wrapped up the festival with a smile and a set that gave everyone a chance to exhale together in a collective sense of exhaustion, relief and euphoria.

The stage, adorned in green hills, and his persona, from his latest album as Tyler Baudelaire were the initial backdrops for his set, but he covered everything, from Yonkers to RUNITUP. Tyler kept everyone watching, even if you weren't intimate with the catalogue. His love of performing and his animated stage presence kept everyone enthralled for his set, with noticeably fewer people leaving early than the previous night.

The placement of big names in the rap world headlining Splendour has become a regular occurrence, and this set will go down as one of the greatest and a much-needed salve to the weekend's woes. 

Despite having fewer international artists than other editions, the solid local contingent and the support that they received show just how much live music can be appreciated in this country and the efforts that were made to not only be there but to put in such a great show despite all of the roadblocks is a testament to the importance and stature of the festival in its 20th year.
