Electric Picnic announces 11 more acts across the weekend with the likes of Irish band Inhaler, David Gray as well as Nile Rodgers and Chic.
With just over three weeks to go until Stradbally Estate opens its gates to welcome 80,000 festival goers, Electric Picnic announces a further 11 acts set to perform across an already stellar festival weekend.
Fans who did not catch Inhaler’s St Annes gig earlier this summer will rejoice as the Dublin band take to the Stradbally stage.
Multi-platinum artist David Gray will receive a hero’s welcome as he performs the legends slot on Sunday night of the Picnic.
Disco legend Nile Rodgers and Chic are back, having made their Picnic debut in 2009 and have regularly entertained Picnickers with their Good Times anthems.
May 2017 saw The Cranberries perform at the London Palladium, sadly proving to be the band’s final performance. Since then, their music has continued to be as enduringly popular today as it was during the lifetime of The Cranberries.
Electric Picnic fans are in for a unique experience when brothers Noel and Mike Hogan unite to perform the band’s iconic songs for the first time in eight years at this year's festival. They will be joined by The RTÉ Concert Orchestra and a very special guest.
The Saw Doctors continue their 40th anniversary celebrations with a trip to Stradbally, this will be a performance not to be missed.
Jazzy’s ascent to dance-pop royalty knows no bounds, with multiple awards under her belt and the honour of being the most popular Irish female on Spotify.
This will be her third visit to Electric Picnic. Fresh from their Glastonbury performance, The Coronas no doubt will pull the crowds as they head to the festival this summer as well.
One of the most prolific bands to ever grace the Stradbally stage King Kong Company will be back with one of their legendary blistering sets.
The 2 Johnnies swing by Stradbally with the Junior B All Stars, a trailer load of songs from their No.1 Album Small Town Heroes and more than a few surprises.
Twenty-five years is a long time to stay in the hearts and minds of every Irish clubber, but Mark McCabe’s Maniac 2000 done that.
He brings a very special show to Electric Picnic full of dance classics, new bangers and a very special live performance.
Meanwhile, ‘just two boys from Cork who are always up for a skit’, PJ Kirby and Kevin Twomey from I’m Grand Mam will bring their hugely popular podcast to the Electric Arena.
The weekend of 29th to 31st August will see 80,000 Picnickers gather to enjoy a weekend of delightfully diverse music, art, theatre, comedy, spoken word, food and health.
With headline acts such as Hozier, Chappell Roan, Sam Fender, Kings of Leon alongside Fatboy Slim and Becky Hill.
They are joined by an incredible list of international and Irish acts including: Amble, Barry Can’t Swim (Live), Conan Gray, Confidence Man, Kingfishr, Kneecap, Lord Huron, Marc Rebillet, Maribou State, Montell Fish and Self Esteem.
