Paolo Nutini has been named as the replacement for Lewis Capaldi at this year’s staging of the Electric Picnic.
The Scottish signer announced he was taking a break to deal with an ongoing medical issue.
He was due to headline the Saturday evening but he has now been replaced by fellow Scotsman Nutini.
Belters Only, Gavin James and The Coronas have also been added to the line up.
Their inclusion bolsters what already looks like a very exciting line up.
The Killers, Billie Eilish, Niall Horan, Lewis Capaldi, Jamie XX, Rick Astley, Tom Odell, Fred Again are some of the acts that have been announced for Electric Picnic.
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.
Tickets for Electric Picnic are completely sold out. The festival this year will take place from September 1 to 3.
