Friday:
Casa Bacardí is thrilled to present the sensational Jayda G (JMG, Ninja Tune) for her only Irish festival date on Friday night. The Canadian house producer is best known for her Grammy-nominated hit ‘Both of Us‘ and has garnered millions of fans through an impressive worldwide touring schedule and catalogue of music that draws on her love for classic house, disco and soul. Joining her on this electrifying line-up are a roster of local heroes throughout the evening including Nialler9 and Efa O’Neill, who will both bring the party to their electronic sets. Opening the stage will be an energetic set from Sim Simma veterans: Spanish DJ-producer Alba B2B with Chicago’s finest miss Queen Beatz.
Saturday
Taking the stage as the Saturday headliner is none other than Route 94, one of the most exciting and versatile DJs, who you will recognise as the talent behind the smash hit ‘My Love’ with Jess Glynne. A whirlwind few years have seen him go from hitting the No.1 spot in the UK charts to performing at some of the most-respected festivals and clubs on the planet. Just before him will be Noudle, the Londoner DJ and producer who is taking the UK club scene by storm and is tipped for big things. After a monumental set at Casa Bacardí last year, Marcus O’Laoire is back to close Saturday night with a bang. Also on stage will be disco queen Claire Beck and the fantastic emerging groups Gash Collective, X Collective and Soul Jam.
Sunday
Casa Bacardí is delighted to have Ejeca – one of Ireland’s finest DJs – as the headliner for Sunday. Known for creating feel good dance floor moments and his eclectic blend of house and electronic music, the Belfast pioneer will bring an incredible two hour set to Stradbally after a busy summer of touring. The daytime programme will see a mix of live acts and plenty of good vibes with Riff Shop and Mo Cultivation DJs. As the sun goes down, disco-house legend Ricky Chong will turn things up a notch before heavy hitter JORDAN NOCTURNE takes to the stage. Finally, bringing Casa Bacardí to a close on Sunday night, is one of Ireland’s favourite DJs, Sally Cinnamon, who will bring the energy for one last dance fuelled by Afro-electronic, feel-good house bangers.
Electric Picnic also announced the Trenchtown lineup also recently.
The big announcement for EP was back in April and featured Billie Eilish, Fred again.. and The Killers were previously announced, along with Niall Horan, Young Fathers, Nia Archives, Steve Lacy, Fight Like Apes, Idles, Jamie xx, Tom Odell, Rick Astley, The Murder Capital, The Mary Wallopers, and Amyl & The Sniffers.
Lewis Capaldi has cancelled all his tour dates and festival appearances so will be replaced shortly.
