Electric Picnic 2011 line-up announced

Arcade Fire: Headliners for Electric Picnic 2011

It has been well documented that the Electric Picnic 2011 line-up was unintentionally leaked (possibly hacked) online yesterday, but the official announcement was today, and there are a number of names in the official release that weren't on the leaked list. It's a very tasty line-up indeed, and here it is in all its glory:

We understand that Pulp will headline the Sunday night, but no word on the other headliners. A very exciting line-up with big guns (Arcade Fire, Pulp, Chemical Brothers), super-cool, out there selections (Flying Lotus, Beirut, The Walkmen), favourites (Jimmy 'I can see clearly now' Cliff, Toots and the Maytals, Interpol) and a great Irish line-up (Ivan St John, Adebisi Shank, The Danger Is, Sinead O'Connor, Mundy, Codes, Cast of Cheers, etc etc).



Flying Lotus: A rather cool dude, and playing at the Picnic!
