"With lots more summer to come it’s a fine time to add some more cherries to the bustling bowl of goodies.
"Joining the big names such as Florence, Billie and Hozier will be chart topping Scottish singer songwriter Gerry Cinnamon who will make his Picnic debut this year, guaranteed to be a Belter!

"And of course there is much, much more to look forward to from the rowdy guitar riffs in Trailer Park and Salty Dog, to the tranquil whimsical wonderland that is The Hazel Wood, to the pulsating heart of the Electric Picnic – The Body & Soul Village".
