Australia's Splendour in the Grass festival returns to Byron Bay's Belongil Fields on August 2 and 3 for another couple days of splendid music. Despite its name, we can't imagine it's any easier to smuggle weed into this place than, say, Bonnaroo. Wait, so... it's really easy?! (Don't do drugs.)

ANYway...Splendour in the Grass' 2008 lineup includes Band of Horses, Sigur Rós, Vampire Weekend, Albert Hammond Jr., Robert Forster, the Drones, Devo, Tricky, MSTRKRFT, Wolfmother, Lightspeed Champion, Lyrics Born, Ben Lee, Cold War Kids, the Polyphonic Spree, the Grates, the Wombats, the Vines, Van She, and New Young Pony Club.
