This year, Hot Press will once again have a tonne of fantastic Irish and international acts visiting the Hot Press Chatroom in the Mindfield section of Electric Picnic for some chin-wages, chuckles and tunes.

All your favourite Irish artists will be there throughout the weekend, swapping stories and filling us in on their current musical escapades.

Amongst those lined up for the Chatroom so far are: acoustic-folk troubadour David Keenan; alt-rock heroes Pillow Queens; punk duo Vulpynes; fiery Dublin band Otherkin; rising electro-pop star Somebody's Child; Derry punk maestros Touts; legendary punk-poet Jinx Lennon; and Stefan Murphy will all join the Hot Press crew throughout the weekend.

This is just the start of the additions though - we'll be packing out our tent with conversations, panels and music sessions throughout the full three days of Electric Picnic. Keep an eye on hotpress.com for more updates!
