The festival is in just four months' time.
As the days get longer and the summer draws near, Electric Picnic today announces a further 42 International and Irish acts who will set stages alight at Ireland’s biggest music and arts festival when it welcomes 80,000 Picnickers in just four months' time.
Heading to Laois this August is Djo, the ‘End of Beginning’ viral hitmaker who is also known for his unforgettable turn as Steve in Netflix series ‘Stranger Things’. The IT girl herself JADE will make her Picnic debut this year while Wolf Alice will make a very welcome return to the festival.
Filling the rolling fields of the Stradbally estate with thousands of dancing feet will be the likes of Ben Hemsley, Duke Dumont and Obskür, the next generation of rock royalty will arrive in the form of Violet Grohl and soak up the laidback grooves of Loyle Carner and Ravyn Lenae. The cream of homegrown talent will entertain festival goers, from Picnic favourites The Mary Wallopers and The Saw Doctors to Florence Road, Cliffords and Madra Salach plus much, much more!
For those of you that prefer some high-energy floor filling tunes, the destination every year is Terminus, located just beyond the trees! Across the weekend, dance fans can expect garage beats from Interplanetary Criminal, MALUGI will get the party started, and some 90s inspired techno from X Club. plus CamrinWatsin, Clouds, DART, Effy, Faster Horses, Kayleigh Glynn and TWOFACED!
Today’s announcement is in addition to a previously announced stellar lineup which includes headliners Gorillaz and Fontaines D.C. plus CMAT, Sombr, Zara Larsson, Skepta, Wunderhorse, Role Model, and Geese.
