Kendrick Lamar, Massive Attack and N.E.R.D have been announced as headliners for this year’s Electric Picnic.
The biggest music festival in Ireland will return to Stradbally Hall on August 31st, with a crowd over 55,000 people expected to attend.
Woman of the moment Sigrid will also play, alongside other acts like Jessie Ware, Chvrches and Dermot Kennedy.
Kicking off proceedings and guaranteed to turn Stradbally Hall into ‘m.A.A.d city’ is the Compton-rapper and proud owner of five GRAMMY Awards, Kendrick Lamar. He’ll deliver an unstoppable set, packed with hits from his widely acclaimed 2017 album, ‘DAMN’.
Returning to the festival for a third time, Massive Attack will treat Picnickers to their atmospheric back catalogue of hits such including Unfinished Symphony, Teardrop, Safe From Harm, Protection and more.
After keeping fans waiting a full seven years before delivering No_One Ever Really Dies last year, N.E.R.D. are back and they’re going to sound better than ever at this year’s Electric Picnic.
The record breaking Dua Lipa joins this year’s line up, currently on world tour with Bruno Mars. All the way from Budapest to Stradbally, George Ezra joins the bill too, his new album Staying At Tamara’s out next week. Indie veterans, The Kooks will be on hand to add a dash of noughties power pop to proceedings, while the soul collective, Jungle will have you dancing time and time again.
