A-Z Irish Bands @ Electric Picnic

Well, I thought you may like a list of the Irish bands playing at Electric Picnic this year. So I scrobbled this together from various sources over the last few weeks, before stumbling upon the confirmed line-up. Unfortunately the official stage times have not been released and only a handful of bands have the correct time listed on their profiles, so I’ve omitted their appearance times here as it was too complicated/unreliable. Also, I haven’t listed DJs as they’re too difficult to track to correct sites. I may have missed out a couple of bands…do let me know if anyone’s left out!

However this should give you an idea of who’s playing > when…keep an eye out for the final line-up and stage times for more info.

    the Ceili House Allstars and the Ceili Allstars are not the same band - your link here is to the wrong website. Ceili House Allstars are some outfit from the south of England. Trying to track down how this misinformation has been put out. We’ve been getting alot of calls and texts all week about it.

    If you don’t get a chance to reply please disable the link as your info is wrong.
