Great news if you’ve got a ticket.
Electric Picnic have added 21 new acts to this year’s lineup. Perhaps the biggest surprise is that The Boomtown Rats, Bob Geldof’s iconic band, will be hitting Stradbally to play a set before they hit Reload the week after.
The Boomtown Rats aren’t the only big names to have been added to the card. The superb Villagers have been announced, as well as fellow Irish band, Le Galaxie.
The full list of newly added acts, which also includes Jape, The Staves and Shamir, can be seen by clicking here.

It’s not all good news, however, as Jessie Ware has had to cancel her scheduled performance at EP due to a scheduling conflict.
Things are looking great for this year’s Picnic, with comedy acts still to be announced, as well entertainment at Body & Soul and Other Voices.
