With just weeks to go until Electric Picnic 2026, excitement is growing, and even more so now that three more acts have been confirmed for the festival.

The iconic music festival, which is held in Stradbally at the end of summer every year, has selected plenty of homegrown talent to take to the main stage in 2026, and fans are impressed.

Dublin rock band Fontaines DC will take the highly coveted position of Sunday headliner, leaving the lads with the big responsibility of closing out the festival with a band.

The Starburster hitmakers have found even more fame of late, with plenty of their fan-favourite tracks featured in Netflix’s House of Guinness.

Meanwhile, British band Gorillaz are set to take to the stage as the headline act on Saturday, and Lewis Capaldi, who accidentally confirmed he was performing at EP in June, will play on Friday alongside Sombr.

As for the three new acts confirmed at the start of August, Electric Picnic has announced that Amble, Van Morrison and Aaron Rowe have all signed on for the festival.

Dunboyne’s CMAT will also play her hit songs at the festival, including her viral tunes Euro-Country and Take A Sexy Picture Of Me.

She won’t be the only singer with TikTok hits at Electric Picnic, though, as Role Model will be performing his social media sensation, Sally, When The Wine Runs Out, where he will pick a ‘Sally’ from the crowd to dance with him on stage.

Sombr, Zara Larsson, Skepta, Wunderhorse, and Geese will also perform at Electric Picnic across the weekend.

Festival goers were quick to share their thoughts on the line-up when it was first announced in December, with an overwhelmingly positive reaction.

‘The best lineup in EP history actually,’ one person wrote, while another dubbed the line-up as the ‘best one yet.’ ‘What an amazing lineup,’ a third person said, while a fourth added: ‘This is the best headliners in so long wooo.’

However, the line-up left some people less than impressed, with one person saying it ‘could be better.’ Another person even went as far as to write: ‘A Bit early for April fools.’
