Grace Jones is to play this year's Electric Picnic festival, reports On the Record.

The 60-year-old Jamaican-American singer/actress/model/crazy woman will play the sold-out festival at Stradbally, which takes place on August 29th, 30th and 31st.

Jones recently played the Massive Attack-curated Meltdown Festival in London last month, and will release her first album of new material in almost twenty years, 'Hurricane', in October.
