I just wanted to let you know about our latest project that you may find interesting, as it creates ready-made Electric Picnic playlists from every year it has existed.

The project in question is our Festival Playlister, a fully interactive tool that enables you to search for any music festival in the world, past and present, and create a Spotify playlist based around it. Above is Electric Picnic 2016’s ready-made, playlist.

We also have the festival’s playlists going back to the inaugural event in 2004, which means that you can explore the entire artistic history of the last 12 years. Just search Electric Picnic in the main page search bar and select which year you’d like, Here’s 2006 for you to check out, too…

Electric Picnic
September 2nd-4th, Stradbally Hall, Co. Laois

Here’s what you may need to know…

01. The biggest weekender of the summer has finally announced its first wave of acts this afternoon in Dubland. It goes down September 2nd-4th at Stradbally Hall, Co. Laois. Sunday day passes are already sold out, and weekend tickets are going briskly.

02. The blockbuster headliners include the Chemical Brothers, the newly-reformed LCD Soundsystem, and alt-pop songstress Lana Del Rey.

03. Further up on the bill are new-wave legends New Order, US indie-rock wunderkinder Haim, Animal Collective, Broken Social Scene, Super Furry Animals, and rising stars in the form of Savages and Blossoms. Also of interest is the announcement of Belfast post-punk outfit Girls Names, whose Arms Around a Vision was one of the Irish albums of 2015.

04. Also on the bill: Years & Years, Nathaniel Ratliff & The Night Sweats, Wild Beasts, Glass Animals, Todd Terje, Jack Garratt, Gavin James, Wolf Alice, The Avett Brothers, Pantha du Prince, Phosphorescent, Ezra Furman, Mount Kimbie (DJ set), Daniel Avery, Aurora, Nao and Meilyr Jones.

Verdict: As expected, heavy on the crowd-pleasers with some genuinely big names atop the bill and amid the announcements, backed by a mix of Irish and international independent talent. Could use more of the former, mind. Looking forward to further announcements.

Electric Picnic.
