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.

While neo-soul ensemble Hiatus Kaiyote and electronic triple threat Oscar Key Sung will be showing off their homegrown talents. Also announced are locals bAnoffee and Andras Fox.

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.

In celebration of his place on the Red Bull Music Academy stage Young Franco has prepared and shared an exclusive mix featuring some of the artists set to join him on the stage. Have a listen below.
