TOTING tents and gumboots, revellers rolled into Byron Bay at the weekend for the Splendour in the Grass music festival, to see a line-up of imported and local acts, including British India, Devo, the Presets, Wolfmother and the Vines.
More than 17,500 tickets have been sold and next year's event could be even bigger. On Friday organisers of the festival, which started in 2001, were granted approval by Byron Shire Council to hold a trial event at a new location next year. The approval to move the festival from Belongil Fields, just outside Byron Bay, to Yelgun, north of Byron Bay, ends a two-year battle between organisers and some residents who ran a protest campaign.
