Electric Picnic has revealed the first nine acts for next year’s festival in Stradbally, which will run from 28-30 August.

Fontaines D.C., Gorillaz, CMAT, Sombr, Zara Larsson, Skepta, Wunderhorse, Role Model and Geese are the headliners for the sold-out 2026 festival.

Gorillaz will take the top slot on the Saturday night, followed by Fontaines D.C. in the Sunday night headline slot.

Festivals organisers said on Monday: ‘It’s a first for Electric Picnic to welcome Gorillaz to Stradbally and a particular moment of pride to watch Fontaines D.C. move on up to the prestigious closing spot on Sunday night. But this is just the start of what we have in store for you.’ 

Ireland’s biggest music and arts festival will also see the return of fan favourite areas ranging from Trailer Park and Croí to Salty Dog, Providencia, Fish Town and more, while more lineup announcements will be unveiled soon.
