A statement on the festival’s website assures fans that event organizers have a few surprises up their sleeves.

“With one year at Woodfordia under our collective belts, regular Splendour punters might feel that they’ll be familiar with the site – but don’t think it’s going to be a repeat of 2010. We like to mix things up a bit and keep you on your toes! There will be a number of new bars, some new spaces to explore and changes here and there around the site.”

Attractions include the Tipi Forest, the Very Small Mall (featuring the Splendour Day Spa), the Smirnoff Cocktail Bar, Mo’Rockin’ Wine Bar and the new Bar New Orleans.
