Alt-J have made the 'mystery' surrounding the Splendour In The Grass 'Mystery B∆nd' rather redundant.
Not only did everybody instantly guess that the cleverly disguised band were Alt-J as soon as the bill was announced (the ∆ is something of a giveaway, and Alt-J were already scheduled to be in the country for previously announced shows), but the band aren't even really trying to keep the secret anymore.
In a recent Reddit AMA, they responded with a :) when asked a question by a user posting as 'splendourmysteryband'. Today, they confirmed that you should never tell Alt-J your precious secrets by tweeting this:
Anyone know what the weather is going to be like at Splendour this weekend?

So, in short, Splendour In The Grass organisers wanted to be this guy...
But ended up looking more like this guy...
Unless this is all a ruse, and they're just letting you think Alt-J is the mystery band until they reveal their hand, in which case they're actually this guy.
