Electric Picnic has announced the first nine acts set to play next year's festival, with CMAT, Fontaines D.C. and Gorillaz among the 2026 line-up.
Gorillaz, created by Blur's Damon Albarn and artist Jamie Hewlett in 1998, will headline the Saturday night of the festival, while Dublin post-punk band Fontaines D.C. will take the Sunday night headline slot.
Irish star CMAT, American singer-songwriter Sombr, Swedish singer Zara Larsson, British grime star Skepta, rock band Wunderhorse, American singer-songwriter Role Model and American rock band Geese have also been revealed to be playing the festival next year.
Tickets for the 2026 edition of the hugely popular Co Laois festival sold out within minutes when they went on sale in September.
Hozier, Chappell Roan and Kings of Leon were among the headliners for this year's Electric Picnic, which saw 80,000 festival-goers descend on Stradbally, Co Laois.
Electric Picnic will return on Friday, 28 August – Sunday, 30 August 2026.
