The ever-expanding Splendour In The Grass lineup has welcomed another lots of acts, with organisers announcing the addition of Nicolas Jaar, Africa Hitech, Oscar Key Sung and the Grammy nominated Hiatus Kaiyote to the Red Bull Music Academy stage.

The Red Bull Music Academy crew have also announced a festival pre-party to take place on Thursday 24 July, the day before Splendour kicks off. Indian Summer, wordlife, Yahtzel and L D R U are just some of the acts that will be playing intimate sets that evening, raising body temperatures of all the eager campers who are unwilling to wait for the Friday sets to kick off.
