The xx, Duran Duran, Chaka Khan and A Tribe Called Quest are among the main headliners at this year's Electric Picnic festival.
Among the other main acts on the bill are Interpol, Run the Jewels, London Grammar, Madness and Father John Misty. Annie Mac and The Divine Comedy are among the Irish acts on the lineup
A version of the festival lineup had leaked on social media hours before the main announcement. The festival also sold out within minutes of going on sale. At approximately 9.05am, anyone coming to the Ticketmaster site was told that tickets were no longer available. Some fans who were on the site earlier and stayed in the online queuing system were able to secure tickets. The majority of the tickets had been sold in pre-sales.
