Founding brothers of Limerick's The Cranberries to perform at Electric Picnic
Brothers Noel and Mike Hogan are to perform the band's songs together for the first time in eight years
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.
Known for hit songs such as Zombie, Dreams and Linger, the band released seven albums during Dolores' lifetime, and one posthumously in 2019. They disbanded following the release of their final album.
Electric Picnic will be returning to Stradbally Hall, Co Laois this August 29 to 31.
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.
