Electric Picnic organisers have announced the lineup of the ever popular Anachronica venue in the woodlands of Stradbally.

Headlined by electronic acts Tommy Holohan, Yasmin Gardezi, and Nancy Live this late night theatre is sure to attract those searching for something different during Electric Picnic.

In a statement, the festival organisers said: “Who is behind the workings of Anachronica? As Electric Picnic approaches on 2 – 4 September, the mystery continues as to who is running Anachronica with its huge pistons that generate the power in this secret and forgotten building.

“Various sightings have been reported over the years, but still, no one knows what it is they are actually doing and why…

“While the public have been absent, more strange movements have been noted in the woods at Anachronica.

“Early indications are that whoever is behind the running of this huge mechanism have been preparing further defences to protect their secret society, with a structure resembling a watch tower with a strong search light looming large, more than likely to deter possible intrusion.

“We will update you as soon as we know more. Warning: Do not interfere or approach anything that lives within Anachronica.

What fuels this mysterious machine and even its purpose is known only to the secret society that operates it.

“But what is clear to all is, whatever its purpose, it seems to have a hypnotic effect on the people of the 21^st century, drawing them in from afar to dance to the power – and this is where Picnickers flock, hopeful of seeing the hidden people but also to move together as one to the pulsating sounds that reverberate through the trees.

“This is where you are awakened from 10pm to 4am every night of the festival.”

The full lineup includes Tommy Holohan, Yaszmin Gardezi, Nancy Lice, Aero, Pagan, Aeron XTC B2B Taint, Sam Greenwood, MD Duffy B2B Kolour Krew, Aoise Butt, and Shannen Blessing.
