Electric Picnic set to be Cured this summer

The Killers and The Cure will headline this year’s Electric Picnic festival.

Other big acts confirmed for the three-day gathering at Stradbally Hall, Co Laois, include Sigur Rós, Elbow, Grizzly Bear, Orbital, Hot Chip, and local heroes Christy Moore and Glen Hansard.

John Reynolds, of promoters Pod, said he had been fighting for years to bring British goth-rockers The Cure to the annual music, arts, and comedy bonanza.
