Salty Dog are the latest to announce a lineup for Electric Picnic next month.
First things first, the iconic off-balance pirate ship stage will transform to a “grimy port” which means “a whole new two-storey structure hewn from stolen timber and given a lick of paint,” and populated by unsavoury seaside hawkers and swindlers.

- The Hot Sprockets
- Corner Boy
- Otherkin
