Hozier, Chappell Roan, Sam Fender, Fatboy Slim and rock legends King of Leon have been announced as headliners for this year's Electric Picnic festival.

Electric Picnic bosses have announced five of the headline acts to take to the Main Stage in Stradbally, Co Laois this August, with big names returning as well as big debuts at Ireland's go-to music festival. 

Headlining Friday night and celebrating the tenth anniversary since the release of his eponymous debut album, Hozier makes a welcome return to the fields of Stradbally.

Midwest Princess Chappell Roan has established herself as your favourite artist’s favourite artist and an international superstar, performing all over the world and bagging a Grammy to boot. She is set to make her Picnic debut later this summer.

Brit Award winner and multi-platinum artist Sam Fender will be the Saturday night headliner as he performs 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, who is no stranger to the rolling lawns of Stradbally Hall.

Stalwarts of the rock scene and no strangers to performing in Ireland,but also making their Picnic debut, Kings of Leon will make their EP debut when they headline the Sunday night.

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 more. 

Electric Picnic will take place in Stradbally, Co Laois this year from August 29 to 31.
