With just two weeks to go before Stradbally Estate opens its gates to Electric Picnic, the final music line-up has been announced.
Picnickers across the country are getting ready packing tents, sleeping bags and wellies and will come armed with plans to catch as many acts as possible.
And while this has been been going on, the Electric Picnic have been working behind the scenes to add some last musical acts to the line-up.
The new additions are an eclectic mix and include Dublin post grunge act Fangclub, the Riptide Movement, King Kong Company and electronic act Le Galaxie.
These acts join The XX, A Tribe Called Quest and Duran Duran who were announced as headline acts for this year’s Electric Picnic Festival in May.
Also topping the bill is superstar DJ Pete Tong and funk-soul legend Chaka Khan.
Across the weekend Interpol, Elbow, Phoenix, Run The Jewels, London Grammar, Rag ‘n’ Bone Man, Madness, Father John Misty and The Divine Comedy are also set to take to the stage.
