Electric Picnic has announced the lineup for its Trailer Park Stage, comprising a mobile home with the front taken off.
Kelly Anne Byrne, White Horse Guitar Club, Dublin Ukulele Collective, Scustin, Grooveline and New Brass Kings are just some acts announced as part of the stage's lineup.
David Kitt, Post Punk Podge, The Luna Boys and The Pearly Whites are among the other names on the 21-act lineup over the weekend.
Trailer Park has been established as the funny bone of Electric Picnic, offering visual creativity, unchecked laughter and live music.
Elsewhere in the Trailer Park, other stages embrace the overriding theme of a place where “nonsense is taken seriously”.
On Yonder - a bus that acts by day as an immersive school offering drag for beginners - blindfolded dentistry, lollipop lad classes, and hip hop for over 60s are among the attractions.
Gangsta Granny returns, and weather karaoke will take place alongside Nun of That, where attendees will be brought back to the “good auld days” of Irish sexual education taught by nuns.
Lord Ganesh’s Larder will also be in the park, as will Terrible Terry, Caravanaoke, Quizivan, the Céilí Kitchen, The Propaganda Machine, the Pirates of the Carrivean and Salvage Yard.
My Lovely Horse Rescue will also have Holly and Daphne, the emotionally repaired pigs, a canine population of Charlie Watts, Berry Boo and Taylor Swift to name a few, while Matt Damon and Lola the Shetland will be among the horses.
Craggy Island, the Father Ted caravan experience plus Joe Rooney’s Sunday Mass will also be on offer, if you are down with that sort of thing.
The area has also announced that there will be five new creations to the area: ValHELLa Horror, Dolly the Disco Den, Trash Can, Cabaret Caravan, Gypsy Caravan, and “a few other surprises.”
Electric Picnic takes place in Stradbally, Co Laois on August 16th-18th, with festival headliners Noah Kahan, Calvin Harris and Kylie.
