Loyle Carner has been announced as the latest addition to this weekend's Electric Picnic lineup.

"We’re thrilled to announce Loyle Carner has been added to your EP23 line-up!" said a statement posted by festival organisers to social media.

Carner is the second high-profile act to be added to the lineup in just a few days, as The Script were announced to play the Stradbally festival last Friday.

The London rapper recently played three sold-out shows in Dublin's Vicar Street in February of this year.

“It’s the greatest crowd on the planet, I think,” said Carner of Dublin audiences in his interview with Hot Press' Molly Cantwell.

“We always start the tour there, and then no show can come close for the rest of the tour. I don’t really drink anymore, but I will be having a Guinness, of course." Read the full piece here.
