Will you be there?
Electric Picnic is the highlight of a lot of Irish people’s year, so there was a lot riding on this morning’s lineup. 12 o’clock came, the line up was announced, and it seems people were absolutely chuffed.
Kendrick Lamar, Massive Attack and N.E.R.D were announced as the main events of the festival, with big names such as Dua Lipa, Jungle, George Ezra, The Kooks and Dermot Kennedy among many others making up the rest of the card.
The line up is quite different to the Longitude one, so festival goers in Ireland this summer are spoiled for choice.
Here’s a flavour of what people thought of the announcement of the early acts on Thursday morning.
Now THIS is some lineup!

By the looks of it, the general consensus is that the Stradbally event will sell out again. (Some) tickets are still on sale, but judging by that reaction, you’ll have to act fast to get them.
