Stranger Things actor Joe Keery, known by the stage name Djo, has joined the line-up, as has Little Mix's Jade Thirlwall.

Also performing in Stradbally in August will be Wolf Alice, The Mary Wallopers, The Saw Doctors, Men I Trust, Rose Gray, and Audrey Hobert.

Skepta, Geese, Wunderhorse, Ben Hemsley, Duke Dumont, and Skye Newman are also part of the line-up for this year's festival.

Sombr, Zara Larsson, Gorillaz, CMAT, and Fontaines D.C. are the biggest acts announced for the festival so far, but only Gorillaz and Fontaines D.C. have been confirmed as headliners.

Electric Picnic usually has six headliners, two for each day, so festivalgoers can expect another headliner announcement closer to the time.

Announcing the new acts joining the 2026 line-up, a spokesperson for Electric Picnic said: "We’re delighted to announce that 40+ names have been added to your Electric Picnic 2026 line-up. The last weekend in August can’t come quick enough!!!

"See you down in Stradbally for the best weekend of the summer."
