Founding brothers of Limerick's The Cranberries to perform at Electric Picnic

THE CRANBERRIES brothers Noel and Mike Hogan are set to return to the stage this August to perform some of the band’s most iconic songs.

This will be the first time in eight years that the brothers will be performing the band’s songs on stage together.

The brothers will be joined by the RTÉ Concert Orchestra and “a very special guest”.

The Cranberries’ final performance together took place in the London Palladium in May 2017, just months before Dolores O’Riordan’s untimely death in January 2018.

The Limerick band formed in 1989, with Dolores joining the band as the lead singer in 1990.

The festival's headliners include Chappell Roan, Hozier, Sam Fender and Kings of Leon.

Festivalgoers will also get to see acts such as Amble, Conan Gray, Kingfishr, Kneecap and The Coronas.
