UPDATE: The Splendour In The Grass 2016 lineup has finally arrived – get it right here!

With the dates officially announced, it’s now countdown to when the Splendour In The Grass 2016 lineup is finally revealed and already we’ve had quite a few hopes dashed thanks to tours and music festivals happening elsewhere in the world.

As we reported earlier this week, Detroit’s Mo Pop Festival has eliminated the likes of M83, Glass Animals, Haim, Father John Misty, BØRNS, Mac DeMarco, FIDLAR, Nothing But Thieves, and Raury from Splendour 2016 contention.

Meanwhile, Canada’s Way Home festival, which takes place at the same time as Splendour, has robbed us of the chance to see the newly reformed LCD Soundsystem, Arcade Fire, The Killers, and FKA Twigs at Splendour 2016.

So just who is going to be on the lineup? Well, the recently announced Fuji Rock lineup may just give us a few clues as to who to expect. The festival takes place around the same time as Splendour and the two festivals have shared acts in the past.

As FasterLouder notes, Royal Blood, Ryan Adams, Johnny Marr, The Vaccines, and The Districts were just a few of the acts who played both Splendour and Fuji Rock last year and the year prior saw the two events sharing headliners Outkast and Lily Allen.

You can check out the full Fuji Rock lineup below, but some of the notable names include Red Hot Chili Peppers, Sigur Ros, recent visitors Disclosure, Battles, and Ben Harper & The Innocent Criminals, who recently cancelled their Australian tour.
