Electric Picnic have announced the first five headline acts for the 2025 festival in Stradbally later this year.
Hozier and Chappell Roan have been announced for Friday while Sam Fender and Fatboy Slim are on Saturday.
Kings of Leon are the only act named for Sunday yet.
Hozier will return to Stradbally as he is celebrating the tenth anniversary since the release of his eponymous debut album.
Chappell Roan has established herself as an international superstar, performing all over the world and bagging a Grammy to boot – she makes her Picnic debut this August.
Wits like Pink Pony Club, HOT TO GO and Good Luck Babe, she will draw a serious crowd.
Sam Fender will be performing songs from his recently released chart topping third album.
Joining Sam on Saturday’s lineup and closing out the main stage is the iconic Fatboy Slim – returning for a third time.
And finally, no strangers to performing in Ireland but also making their Picnic debut and a stalwart of the rock scene, Kings of Leon will headline Sunday night.
Organisers say: “Electric Picnic is Ireland’s biggest music and arts festival and will take place this year from August 29 to 31.
“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.”
