Surfer Blood | We Are Scientists | K-OS | Passion Pit | Goldfrapp | Pixies
So brings us to the final day of Splendour. The day was shaping up to be a fairly chill one, so I thought it would be safe to take my Diana Mini (plus recently purchased flash – hurrah!) along for the ride. I started off the day in half-frame mode, and switched around a bit, which explains for the size discrepancies. The last of my disposable cameras was also floating around that day, and I thought I had lost it to the Splendour Black Hole, but I have since located it and will be off to develop it shortly.

Possibly the only time we were IN THE GRASS.
Surfer Blood.
Spotted We Are Scientists in the crowd, channeled my inner fangirl, asked for a photo. I then had to screw it up by changing into half-frame mode and not winding my film on properly. This probably would have looked alright/cool if the stage shots were the right way around.
K-OS. You always need a bit of hip-hop to break things up. Definitely the surprise highlight of the weekend. I love being in a crowd of predominantly white kids breaking it down and trying to be black (see: Dizzee Rascal at Big Day Out 2008, Cool Kids at Parklife 2009). I’m not even being sarcastic. Each of these gigs was hands down amazing.
Pre-Pixies. Tried a long exposure. Balanced the camera on my knee. Obviously wasn’t still enough.
And here are some photos not from Day Three, but I didn’t know exactly where else to fit them in:
Graffiti bus. This was taken on the Thursday, when the grounds had just opened. It didn’t take long for some eloquent individual to spray paint “Balls deep” on the side. Splendour 2010, keeping it classy.
Even though this is covering the last day, it’s not the last of the Splendour posts. Shenanigans were had on the way home, and there’s the final disposable camera that needs developing. Stay tuned!

@Emma: I know right! I can't even remember what I said to them, just that they were really nice when I approached them (apparently some other bands in the crowd were refusing to take photos with fans).
@Hannah: Leeds looks like an awesome lineup! I'd love to head to some UK festivals one day. The lineups shit over anything we have in Australia, haha. Have fun!
@liana: Woodford was a really great setup – more spaced out than Byron. The Amphitheatre was also fantastic – definitely more accommodating than the usual main tent. I did miss being in Byron though, and going out and drinking in town the night before festivities kicked off. My fave set was DEFINITELY The Strokes. Followed by Foals and Passion Pit. Tipi Forest was still there, doofloving hippies and all! haha
amazing pic!
Just found your blog and I love what I'm seeing. I'm now following you!
I love that dianas!! 🙂
The fucking Pixies!
So incredibly jealous. x
