Got a Band? Live in Moreton Shire? Dream of Playing at an A-List Music Festival?

Splendour in the Grass - Woodford Queensland

Friday 29, Saturday 30 and Sunday 31 July 2011

Splendour in the Grass will be hitting our region from 29 to 31 July and this year's event is poised to be a true local celebration.

While it’s being held in our own backyard at Woodford, we’ve worked hard with Splendour organisers to make sure it provides an unforgettable experience for some very lucky local performers.

Council, in partnership with Splendour in the Grass, is running a competition that will see three up-and-coming bands from the Moreton Bay region play the gigs of their lives at this renowned music festival – sharing the same stage with acts such as Coldplay, Kayne West, Jane's Addiction and The Living End.

To enter submit your details by 5.00pm Friday, 24 June 2011.

Successful bands will be announced on this website on Wednesday 13 July 2011.
