Electric Picnic just revealed five major acts set to headline this year's festival, featuring both classic rock bands and current pop stars. The massive Irish music event happens from August 29 to 31, but anyone hoping to buy tickets should know they've already completely sold out. Lucky fans who score passes will enjoy performances from Hozier, Chappell Roan, Fatboy Slim, Kings of Leon, and Sam Fender across the three-day event.
Hozier takes the Friday night spotlight as he returns to Stradbally, celebrating ten years since he released his first self-titled album. Chappell Roan, nicknamed Midwest Princess, has become a music sensation loved by critics and fans alike. She's performed worldwide and recently won a Grammy award. This August marks her first time playing at the Picnic festival.
British star Sam Fender headlines Saturday night, bringing songs from his new chart-topping third album. The platinum-selling artist and Brit Award winner will surely draw huge crowds. Later that same night, legendary DJ Fatboy Slim closes out the main stage with his famous electronic dance beats. Rock veterans Kings of Leon, who have played many Irish shows before but never at this festival, will headline the final night on Sunday.
The festival spans 600 acres of beautiful fields at Stradbally Estate, creating a perfect setting for the summer's last big party. Returning fan-favorite areas include Trailer Park, Croí, Salty Dog, Providencia, and Fish Town, plus many other attractions. Festival organizers plan to announce more acts soon for what stands as Ireland's biggest music and arts celebration.
