Earlier today we covered a reported hoax line-up of Electric Picnic, which included Hip-Hop artists Macklemore, Kendrick Lamar, Wu Tang Clan and The Roots. When the official line-up was released there was no mention of the artists and a fake concert poster was said to be to blame.
However, this evening at the event’s launch, a number of artists were surprisingly added to the bill, including none other than Wu-Tang Clan (as reported by Nialler9.com). The last time the Hip-Hop supergroup played together in Dublin was at the sold-out Tripod, and their addition to the line-up is likely to draw a new demographic to the festival.
Other groups added to the bill include My Bloody Valentine, The Knife and Black Uhuru. There was no mention of the other artists who were listed in the “hoax”, though it remains to be seen if further artists will be subsequently announced.
Rap Ireland will bring you updates of any additional Hip-Hop acts as we hear it.
