Gorillaz have been announced as Saturday’s headlining act, with Fontaines D.C. taking centre stage on Sunday.
“But that’s not all,” Electric Picnic organisers have said.
“Santa’s pulled a few more names out of the bag for next year’s musical extravaganza,” they added.
CMAT, Sombr, Zara Larsson, Skepta, Wunderhorse, Role Model, and Geese have also been announced for the festival next year.
It’s a first for Electric Picnic to welcome Gorillaz to Stradbally.
