Festival announcement season is upon us once again and, as ever, there are some controversial line-ups splitting the nation. Some are delighted at the prospect of airing out their trusty tent for another summer of fun; while others are confused and saddened at the fact that they've caught a case of being old and don't know more than a handful, if any, of the acts on the line-up.

Electric Picnic delivered this range of emotions to Ireland on Thursday when it announced Kendrick Lamar, Massive Attack and N.E.R.D. as headliners for 2018.

The 41 acts announced so far focus on Hip Hop, pop, electro and singer-songwriters; with only Dermot Kennedy flying the flag for Ireland so far.

We've compiled a playlist of all of the acts announced for Electric Picnic 2018 for the excited and the confused among you.
