A festival-wide opportunity to stop, pause, and reflect.
Friday 19 July – All Stages
“jingiwala Minyungbal jagun.dah” – Welcome to Country
Splendour in the Grass is proud to bring you a festival-wide Welcome to Country presented by our Traditional Owners of Minyungbal Country, the land where we will all gather for the event. The official Welcome can only be shared by bloodline to Country representatives and is a very ancient and traditional protocol to ensure the safety of all people at the festival.
This is an opportunity for all visitors to pause and take a moment to connect to the land we are gathered on and pay respect to Elders past, present, and emerging. This is also a way to honour your own ancestors and set your personal intentions for the Splendour weekend.
The Welcome to Country will take place at the Amphitheatre and will be broadcast on screens at other stages simultaneously.
We acknowledge and pay respects to the people of Minyungbal Country and all their Elders, past, present and emerging. We also acknowledge the many First Nations people from other regions as well as Torres Strait and South Sea Islander people who now live in the local area and make an important cultural contribution to our community.
Splendour in the Grass is a proudly inclusive organisation and an ally of the LGBTQIA+ community and the movement toward equality.
