Electric Picnic have announced a massive 40 new acts heading to Stradbally this summer.
Following on from last year’s festival, which saw some of the biggest crowds for headliners including Chappell Roan and Hozier, and what was the reported biggest crowd ever for Kneecap’s Saturday afternoon set, 80,000 people are set to descend on Stradbally this August.
With headliners including CMAT, Fontaines DC and Gorillaz announced earlier this year, people have been waiting with bated breath for who else will be announced.
Those remaining headliners have been filled, with American singer-songwriter Sombr set to close out the festival on Friday night.
Joining Sombr, Gorillaz, Fontaines DC and CMAT will be Swedish songstress Zara Larsson, who’s fresh off a career renaissance with her hit Stateside alongside PinkPantheress.
Other notable stars headlining across the weekend include Joe ‘DJO’ Keery, who’s been making huge waves in the music scene with songs including End of Beginning and Charlie’s Garden.
Of course, Joe is also known for his time on the screen — most notably as Steve Harrington in Stranger Things.
As well as this, grime legend Skepta will be performing across the weekend, as well as rock band Geese, UK singer Loyle Carner and US rapper JPEGMAFIA.
There will also be a flurry of Irish bands aside from the headliners over the weekend, with Gurriers, the Mary Wallopers, the Saw Doctors and Florence Road heading to the midlands for the weekend.
We’re delighted to announce that 40+ names have been added to your Electric Picnic 2026 line-up 🎪✨ The last weekend in August can’t come quick enough!!!
