Electric Picnic announce first acts ahead of sold out 2026 festival

Electric Picnic have announced their first acts ahead of the sold out 2026 festival.

On Saturday, Gorillaz have been announced for the top slot. While Fontaines D.C. will take the Sunday night headline slot.

Joining Gorillaz and Fontaines D.C. are CMAT, Sombr, Zara Larsson, Skepta, Wunderhorse, Role Model and Geese.

A spokesperson said: “It’s a first for Electric Picnic to welcome Gorillaz to Stradbally and a particular moment of pride to watch Fontaines D.C. move on up to the prestigious closing spot on Sunday night.

“And what a year it’s been for CMAT! But this is just the start of what we have in store for you in August 2026. We can’t wait to see you there.

“Electric Picnic is Ireland’s biggest music and arts festival and will take place next year from 28th to 30th August.

“The 600 acres of rolling fields at Stradbally Estate will provide the perfect backdrop for the end of summer extravaganza as Picnic fan favourites return with Trailer Park, Croí, Salty Dog, Providencia, Fish Town and much, much more! Keep an eye out for more lineup announcements coming soon.”
