Casa BACARDÍ stage at Electric Picnic to feature LF System, Marcus O'Laoire and more

The energised Casa BACARDÍ stage kicks off on Friday, 2nd of September this year.

After a two-year hiatus due to the Covid pandemic, Casa BACARDÍ® celebrates a return to the Electric Picnic festival in Stradbally, Co. Laois with a star-studded line-up.

LF System, Marcus O’Laoire and DJ Deece are among the exciting additions to the stage with support from Ben Bix, DJ Karen, Sally Cinnamon B2B Jimmy Rogue, Justyna Koss, Mix & Fairbanks across the festival weekend - which takes place from September 2nd- 4th.

Casa BACARDÍ®, celebrating a 17th year at the sold-out summer festival, is a long-standing Electric Picnic establishment and is a firm favourite amongst festival-goers for its electrifying atmosphere and unique sound, bringing people together through music and original BACARDÍ® cocktails.

Scottish production duo, LF System, comprising of Conor Larkman and Sean Finnigan, will join Casa BACARDÍ stage this year. The pair have hit No.1 in the UK with their hit 'Afraid To Feel', but remain behind Kate Bush in the No.2 spot in Ireland.

LF System will be joined by Kilkenny native, producer and DJ SHEE who brings his own style of disco, house and techno. Another Irish talent, DJ Deece will also add his dance style to this year’s stage.

Also taking to the stage this year is one of Ireland’s most successful duos, Boots & Kats (Jack Keogh and Ciaran Martin) who have become one of the most established touring artists in Irish electronic music and who bring their distinctive sound to Stradbally.

Dublin based Riff Shop will once again bring their unique and fresh sound while Al Gibbs, whose remix dance track Santran reached No.6 in the Irish national charts and No.1 in the dance charts, make for a brilliant line-up.

Adding to the Casa Bacardi stage is one of Ireland’s best-known DJs Marcus O'Laoire, along with Mix and Fairbanks, and Ricky Chong, known for mixing house and disco records.

Throughout the Electric Picnic weekend, BACARDÍ® bartenders will be sharing their top tips with festival goers on how to make and serve rum cocktails.
