Here's what you had to say about the Splendour in the Grass performance!
 Alana
I met them in Sydney and they guestlisted me for Splendour in the Grass, and their set was fantastic! To hear people singing their songs for hours after their set made me proud as a Futureheads Fan! Well Done Jaff, Barry, Ross and Dave!!
Alex Cobb
Outstanding! For mine, probably the best performers over the weekend with the exception of the magnificent Bloc Party. The crowd barely knew them to begin with but by the end the Futureheads had clearly made many new fans. So much fun!
Andy
Excellent BRITISH music, however where's the review page for ATLANTIC, who were the best band on Day 1!
ATLANTIC were KING Rockers compared to those QUEENS. who were very boring.
Brendan Y
Couldn't of thought of a better band to kick start the Festival!!! All up a awesome show!
caley
