Splendour have replaced Slowthai and Rainbow Kitten Surprise from their 2023 line-up with American rapper Danny Brown and Indigenous artist Thelma Plum.
Detroit native Brown ('Grown Up', 'Lean Beef Patty') will perform exclusively at Splendour, taking over the Mix Up Stage with his 'hyperactive flows, harrowing lyrics and boundary pushing beat selections'.While Thelma (a proud Gamilaraay woman) will engage the GW McLennan Stage with a special Sunday performance featuring tracks from her latest EP 'Meanjin' that received multiple ARIA nominations and landed two spots in triple j's Hottest 100 of 2022: 'Backseat Of My Mind' and 'The Brown Snake'.
"OMG – the last time I played Splendour was the week 'Better In Blak' [2019 debut album] came out," shares Thelma. "I can't wait to come back and show you what I have been up to since then! See you on the Sunday."
As for who will be replacing Lewis Capaldi, with news of his cancellation so recent the Splendour team are currently working through options and will have an update as soon as possible.
Splendour In The Grass 2023 takes place at North Byron Parklands 21-23 July.
