Electric Picnic: strong on 80’s favourites

The Pretenders

ELECTRIC Picnic has announced some of its headliners. Lots on here for the 80s’ kids – The Pretenders, Duran Duran, Chaka Khan and Madness.

The XX and Interpol will please indie heads while Run The Jewels and A Tribe Called Quest released strong hip hop albums in the last year.

Pete Tong and his orchestral trawl thru the dance classics will build on the Jenny Greene showstopper from last year.

Younger festival ravers will be rooting through their parents CD collections to figure out some of this bill but there is a lot more acts to be announced before September 1-3.
