Electric Picnic 2019
The line up for Electric Picnic 2019 was revealed this morning
The headliners are The Strokes, Florence + The Machine, Hozier an The 1975.
Billie Eilish, Dermot Kennedy, James Blake, Jess Glynne and The Streets will also play across the weekend.
Tickets for the 2019 weekender sold out in record time.
They went on sale on the 3rd December 2018 and were all gone in under 15 minutes.
The organisers said it was the first time in the history of the festival that tickets sold out months in advance of the line up reveal.
Hozier
It's been a huge week for Hozier.
In addition to bagging an EP headline slot, his second album has gone straight to number one in the States.
Wasteland, Baby! topped the Billboard 200 album chart on Sunday.
Can't quite put it into words. Thank you, so so much to the fans for this #1. This is handmade, homemade music and your support of that is everything. Thank you to my incredible team @ColumbiaRecords, @Rubyworks. Thank you to @CarolineAtMCD and Denis Desmond! #wastelandbabypic.twitter.com/GTTzgla7xk

Mixed reactions to the line up
Ticket holders are having mixed reactions to the Electric Picnic line up.
Some have taken to Twitter to express their disappointment.
Imagine paying for #EP2019 only to find out the line-up is like #TheresaMay's latest deal: shite!

As much as I love @JessGlynne and @flo_tweet that #EP2019 Line up is underwhelming to say the least

However, others are absolutely delighted!
It seems The Strokes and The 1975 are going down very well with fans.
