Just days after the latest Electric Picnic line-up announcement, the first influx of names to play the festival's Body & Soul area has been announced.
Leading the charge, from our point of view at least, will be tUnE-yArDs whose outstanding 'Nikki Nakk' album is one of our records of the year so far.
