The lineup for Electric Picnic was announced earlier this afternoon, and the Irish public have been posting their reactions on Twitter.
There has been mixed reactions as some people think that the acts are great, whereas other people think the lineup is lacklustre.
The headliners for the nights are The XX, Duran Duran and A Tribe Called Quest.
Other acts include Father John Misty, Run The Jewels, The Pretenders, London Grammar, Annie Mac and Interpol.

EP was never the ‘trendy’ festival with mainstream acts! This is a fun line up! Do your research on these headliners! They’re GOOD #EP2017

And some bad ones:
I don’t think I’ve ever looked at a music festival line up and not seen a single act I would pay to see before #EP2017

Apparently you get a free mug with every Electric Picnic ticket. Just look in the mirror after purchase. #EP2017

#EP2017 Marketing team should get a serious bonus for managing to sell out a festival before announcing probably worst festival lineup ever.
