Electric Picnic Additions (Wolf Parade, Stars & More)

With just over a week until the first of Ireland's Big Two music festivals kicks off, the second has added to it's already fantastic bill. Today it was confirmed that the following acts will be strutting their stuff in Stradbally at the Electric Picnic this coming September:

Wolf Parade
Stars
Brendan Perry
Black Mountain
K'Naan
Heathers
The Rubberbandits (who will allegedly be joined by Crystal Swing...)
Sebastien Leger
Dan Le Sac Vs. Scroobius Pip
Jackbeats
Michell
Kormac's Big Band
The Sub
Sneaky Sound System (DJ set)
Japanese Popstars

I'd probably be a little more excited if I hadn't already heard that the Canadian duo of Stars and Wolf Parade were playing.

Perhaps even better, though, is the confirmation that James Vincent McMorrow will be taking to the Heineken Green Spheres Stage on the Friday of the Oxegen festival. Will be my first time seeing the fantastic singer songwriter and I'm rather excited. Just praying there's no clash with the Black Keys, Vampire Weekend or Arcade Fire...
