With just six weeks to go until the festival welcomes 75,000 music fans to Stradbally, Electric Picnic has announced 10 more acts who will perform over the three-day festival on August 16-18.

Irish singer CMAT will make a welcome return to the festival after her Electric Picnic debut in 2022. First time Picnickers Lankum will also perform at the sold-out event, as well as Ivor Novello winner Villagers.

The Stranglers have also been added to the lineup, and will be stopping to perform at the festival midway through their 50th anniversary tour.

Two-time Eurovision winner Loreen, and Ireland’s own Bambie Thug will make their Picnic debuts over the weekend.

Irish podcaster Blindboy was also added to the lineup, as well as daydreamers, Cardinals and Zimmer90.

The festival previously announced this year's headliners to be Noah Kahan, Calvin Harris and Kylie Minogue.

Other acts on the line-up include international stars like Raye, Gerry Cinnamon, Faithless, J Hus, Kasabian, Nas, Peggy Gou, Teddy Swims and Tom Grennan – as well as homegrown heroes Kodaline, Damien Dempsey, The Wolfe Tones, The Waterboys, Jazzy, KNEECAP, Kojaque, Amble, Moncrieff, NewDad, The Scratch and more.

For its 20th anniversary, Electric Picnic revealed earlier this year that its main stage will be connected to the grid and powered by renewable energy, marking the first time a festival of its kind in Ireland and the UK will install mains power to reduce its carbon footprint.
