Palace

Confidently labelled as one of Britain’s biggest indie exports, Palace are set to play Splendour for the first time. Since forming in 2012, Palace have built a dedicated cult following and a reputation for mesmerising live shows via extensive touring across the UK, EU and US. After receiving critical acclaim for albums Long Forever and 2019’s Life After, their much anticipated third album Shoals was written in the midst of 2020’s COVID lockdown. It swells and crashes around cloying, unsettling emotions inspired by frontman Leo Wyndham’s very real fear that he would never sing again after his battle with the disease. The British band’s first festival appearance down under comes after the release of Shoals in 2022 and hot off the heels of their sold out 21-date USA and Canada tour. “It’s a dream come true to be asked to play the legendary ‘Splendour in Grass’. It’s our first Australian festival and what a way to start – we’ve heard immense things. Australia feels like a special place for us with the most incredible passionate fans – it’s guaranteed to be an epic show. See you there – bring the masses x PALACE”
