The September memories of Stradbally are still fresh but Electric Picnic organisers are now firmly looking ahead to the 2015 edition.
The first bookings have been announced and very fine ones they are too. Beloved Scottish indies Belle & Sebastian, who release their new album Girls In Peacetime Want To Dance on January 16, are set to headline the Heineken Electric Arena on the Friday.
Now it has been confirmed that London electronic star Jon Hopkins will also play the festival, which takes place on September 4 – 6.

I'm highly delighted to be playing next year's Electric Picnic @EPfestival
