Organisers say this year will also see a "whole new town" built on the festival site.
It'll include Terminus, which is described as a new 8,000 capacity "mega-stage" for electronica and dance.
This year's Electric Picnic takes place between August 30th and September 1st.

There's a capacity increase of 2,500 people this year, meaning there'll be space in Stradbally for a total of 57,500 festival-goers.

He said: "I guess Hozier is going to be just really, really special making a headline show.
"I adore The Strokes obviously... and Florence [is] coming back. There's a huge amount there - I mean, Billie Eilish is really, really important, and Christine and the Queens I think will just be a mega, mega show."
