5 Acts Not To Be Missed At Electric Picnic

5 Acts Not To Miss At This Year's Electric Picnic

Picture This

Like I said in my last post about these guys, Picture This have become a household name in recent months. A number one EP and a sold out tour proves that the lads truly have captured the heart of a nation AND they're no strangers to a good ol festival either! You may have seen the video doing the rounds on social media of the entire crowd at Indiependence singing "Take My Hand" at the top of their lungs while Ryan, Jimmy and the gang just stood in amazement. Get down to Rankin Woods at 3:45pm on Sunday. You won't be disappointed!

Gavin James

Gavin James takes to the Main Stage at a festival for the first time in his musical career and I don't think anyone could disagree that he has certainly earned it. Gav is by no means a stranger to Electric Picnic and whenever he has played there, his set has gone down an absolute treat! Having just sold out The Marquee in Cork and preparing to play his biggest ever headline gig at the 3 Arena in Dublin in Novemeber, the only way is up for Mr James. Catch him on Saturday at 5:30pm MAIN STAGE!

Jack Garratt

This guy has well and truly been making waves in the music industry in recent times, so it's no wonder that his talent has filtered over to Ireland and he's playing Electric Picnic - not for the first time! It seems as though Garratt has already made an impression here as his show in The Academy in March had to be moved to The Olympia Theatre due to phenomenal demand! With tracks like "Breathe Life", "Worry" and "Surprise Yourself", I can guarantee you that you won't wanna miss this lad's set! Electric Arena, Saturday, 7:30pm.

Hermitage Green

I recently seen these guys at an intimate gig in Naas and they absolutely blew me away. So I can only imagine what they will be like playing to a festival crowd! One thing that really strikes me about Hermitage Green is that they all have an equal role! They all play instruments, they all sing, and their on stage presence is incredible. You can check them out on the Main Stage on Saturday at 2:45pm AND if you like what you hear, they have a headline gig in The Olympia on November 4th, just sayin'.

Aurora

There's just something I love about this lady's voice so I would definitely recommend popping along to see her at the Electric Arena on Sunday at 3:30pm. You might remember she was the voice on last years iconic John Lewis Ad and she is still quite young with a huge future ahead of her, so I have a feeling in a couple of years time you'll be looking back at when you saw her perform at EP!
