Splendour In The Grass organisers have confirmed the addition of three new acts to the 2014 lineup, having only just announced an Outkast-led roster last week. The three new artists are US rapper Childish Gambino, UK singer Sam Smith, and Aussie hip-hop stars Hilltop Hoods.
While the festival typically only releases one major lineup announcement, Splendour co-producers Jessica Ducrou and Paul Piticco have explained that “too many cocktails over Easter” saw to it that the three names were not confirmed in time for last Wednesday’s lineup announcement.
“Better late than never!” write Ducrou and Piticco. Gambino aka actor and comedian Donald Glover, Disclosure collaborator Sam Smith, and the Aussie hip-hop pioneers will be joining a highly praised Splendour roster that includes the likes of Lily Allen, Interpol, London Grammar, Kelis, and more.
