CMAT and Bambie Thug join Electric Picnic line-up

With just six weeks to go, another ten acts have joined the already jam-packed line-up for Electric Picnic 2024.

CMAT, Lankum, Villagers, The Stranglers, Blindboy, daydreamers, Cardinals, Zimmer90 as well as Eurovision stars Loreen and Bambie Thug are set to perform at the three-day music festival this August in Stradbally, Co Laois.

CMAT makes a welcome return to the festival after wowing crowds in 2022. The Dublin-born singer-songwriter is bound to entertain with songs from her albums Crazymad, For Me (2023) and If My Wife New I’d Be Dead (2022)

Fresh from winning the Choice Music Prize earlier this year, first time Picnickers Lankum will also perform at the sold-out event, while Ivor Novello winner Villagers brings his uniquely nuanced and melodic fusion of folk, pop and rock to Stradbally.

It will be quite the party weekend as Electric Picnic celebrates its 20th anniversary alongside The Stranglers who are celebrating 50 years of making music.

And there’s even something for Eurovision fans as two-time winner Loreen and Ireland’s own Bambie Thug will make their Picnic debuts over the weekend.

Kylie Minogue, Kneecap, The Wolfe Tones, Noah Kahan, Raye, Calvin Harris, Jazzy, Kodaline and Faithless are also among the fifty acts who will play the sold-out festival.
