The Stradbally weekender is recognised as being the country's finest knees-up – and nowhere will be popping on September 2-4 quite like CASA BACARDÍ
The award-winning CASA BACARDÍ stage returns to Electric Picnic this year - and a stellar line-up of DJs will be bringing the untamed spirit to an all-time high.
The centre of the party universe for September 2 - 4, Huxley assumes headline duties on the Friday night, guaranteeing the weekend at CASA BACARDÍ starts in style. Ably supported by Hercules & Love Affair and the legendary Stevie G.
The fun and games only increase on Saturday, as Nicky Siano tops the bill. Having held a residency in Studio 54, he's a legitimate pioneer of the dance scene, so his legendary presence should bring CASA BACARDÍ to a whole new level. UK disco giants Horse Meat Disco, electronic shapeshifter Krafty Kuts and Hidden Agenda luminary DJ Deece will also be part of a special Saturday line-up.
The closing night will see indie-dance superstar Stephen Fasano, better known as The Magician, bringing the weekend at CASA BACARDÍ to a spectacular conclusion. Disco Bloodbath will be on hand to provide support, as will the steel-wheel master A- Skillz.
With disco diva Kelly-Anne Byrne, Waterford's own Get Down Edits, and Hidden Agenda's Stephen Manning rounding out the bill, it's guaranteed to be a spectacular weekend of music. Of course, there's also a guarantee of cocktails to match the superior musical offerings, as Ireland's favourite festival cocktails - the BACARDÍ Cuba Libre and BACARDÍ Mojito included - will be served up, while festival goers can also pick up top tips on how to mix their own top tipples.
We'll see you at the CASA!
