Electric Picnic:  Laois festival fans hugely divided in reaction to 2024 lineup

Kylie Minogue will be spinning around in Stradbally this August.

Fans have reacted with mixed opinions on Electric Picnic's 2024 lineup. 

Aussie Popstar Kylie Minogue will debut at the festival and Irish media personality James Kavanagh commented under the post, which was shared to Instagram saying: "KYLIE F***IN MINOGUE SOMEONE GET ME AN AIR AMBULANCE."

Sharing the post to his story he said: "What the actual f**k is going on? I'm going to pass out."

Kylie has been a big shock to social media users with fans saying: "It is such a slay" as well as "Sunday is for the girlies."

Under the hashtag Electric Picnic on X (formerly Twitter) fans have been sharing their views. 

One user said: "Kylie, Raye, Sophie Ellis-Bextor?!? EP slapped me in the face."

Another user said: "Desperately need an Electric Picnic ticket."

Another user said: "Regardless of what type of music/genre you like this lineup is one of the best in years!"

In the Electric Picnic Banter Facebook page, dedicated fans are giving all sorts of reactions.

"Honestly kodaline as a headliner? They've been living in a cave off the grid in Ranelagh for the last 5 years ......" said one, with another fan quickly correcting them that it's Swords.

"Thoughts?....Thoughtless line up!!...Forest Fest has a brilliant line up. Love my EP but far from a leading awarded European Festival!!," one said.

"Sunday is shocking. The rest is not too bad. Wolfetones on the main stage is deadly," another said.

 "F**king delighted with Gerry Cinnamon!!! Been mad to see him years!!!!," another said with lots of likes.

Another user commented: "I’ve seen better line ups at the Lisdoonvarna Matchmaking Festival."

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! You can find them HERE.
