Say organisers; "Electric Picnic fans, This Is What You Came For! It might not be Stick Season but it is festival season so we are delighted to reveal over 50 acts that will perform for you this summer at Ireland’s largest music and arts festival. We have High Hopes you’ll be Spinning Around to embrace the Escapism on offer across what is sure to be a Belter of a weekend! A small number of tickets have just been released due to failed credit card payments. Act fast to snap up your ticket of the summer!"
As Calvin Harris, Noah Kahan and Kylie make their Electric Picnic debuts, the festival line-up includes top acts from around the globe like RAYE, Gerry Cinnamon, Peggy Gou, NAS, Faithless and Kasabian plus ground breaking, internationally-acclaimed homegrown talent like Kodaline, Jazzy, Kneecap, The Scratch, Damien Dempsey - and the Wolfe Tones, who return to Electric Picnic to perform on the Main Stage following the record crowds at Electric Arena last year!
With the revival of her smash hit ‘Murder on the Dancefloor’, Sophie Ellis-Bextor adds a sprinkle of disco pop magic to the weekend, while those looking to dance the night away can head to Terminus to catch Hannah Laing, Skin On Skin and more!
The full list of names can be seen on the official festival poster, below.
Now in its 20th year, Electric Picnic captured the imagination of the country in 2004 as a one-day event and grew into Ireland’s largest and most loved music and arts festival with 75,000 festival-goers expected for the weekend in Stradbally, Co. Laois from 16 –18th August 2024. This year, the main stage at Electric Picnic will be connected to the grid and powered by renewable energy. This marks the first time a festival of its kind in the UK and Ireland will install mains power to reduce its carbon footprint.
Electric Picnic is the slightly earlier jewel in the crown of the festival calendar this year of course and what a crown it is. A crown that 75,000 people get to wear and be part of and what a lineup they have to be part of. The Wolfe Tones returning was a must. The Scratch and The Waterboys are unmissable for me. Noah taking the world by storm and Calvin blowing our minds and then…. Kylie! What more can I say. The Picnic really is my joyous weekend. Melvin Benn Festival Director.
