As well as those announced above – Steve Lacy, IDLES and Amyl & The Sniffers have also been included.

Last year, after a two year Covid absence, the festival returned to Stradbally and welcomed 70,000 music fans hungry to experience Ireland’s biggest music and arts festival.

Picnickers enjoyed a redesigned site layout, brand new areas such as The Theatre, Fishtown and of course all the festival favourites like Mindfield, Salty Dog and Trailer Park.
