The mystery has been revealed, baby!

The inclusion of a 'Mystery Oz Act' on this year's stacked Splendour In The Grass line-up had everyone guessing, including us! Turns out one of our hunches was on the money: it's Ocean Alley!

The Hottest 100-topping six-piece will perform on Saturday night at the sold out festival, billed near Catfish and the Bottlemen, Courtney Barnett, The Streets, and headliner Childish Gambino. They're also playing Adelaide's 'ultimate Splendour sideshow': Spin Off Festival.

Ocean Alley played Splendour last year, where 'Confidence' proved to be one of the festival's biggest singalongs thanks to the fans packing out the GW McLennan stage nearly 30 metres out from the tent. As we wrote at the time: “It’s unheard of for an act to command this level of interest so fast."

Since then, they've landed four songs into the Hottest 100 and backed up the countdown-dominating 'Confidence' with new single 'Stained Glass', while working towards recording a follow-up to their much-loved second album Chiaroscuro.

Making-of Ocean Alley's Hottest 100 #1 'Confidence' Baden, Angus, and Mitch tell Linda Marigliano about the writing, recording, and reception to 'Confidence' for triple j's Inspired.

Always a busy live act, after playing Bluesfest over Easter and joining Tash Sultana for a nearly sold out tour, they're currently touring the US and Canada before returning home for Splendour and Spin Off ... then off again for a European tour!
