Gorillaz – making their Stradbally debut – have been announced as the Saturday night headliners, while Fontaines D.C. will take the top slot on the Sunday.

Across the weekend, you can also look forward to the likes of  CMAT, Sombr, Zara Larsson, Skepta, Wunderhorse, Role Model and Geese.

Electric Picnic – Ireland’s biggest music and arts festival – will return to Stradbally Hall in Co. Laois from August 28–30.

Organisers have stated that fan favourites like Trailer Park, Croí, Salty Dog, Providencia and Fish Town are also set to return in 2026 – with more line-up announcements expected soon.
