Your favourite '80s girl band has just been announced for Electric Picnic

If you were at Electric Picnic last year, you'll no doubt have seen - or certainly heard - the amazing sounds coming from the Electric Ireland stage.

They were largely down to the presence of '90s pop icons (ahem) 2Unlimitedand Vengaboys, who brought some much needed, good ol' fashioned cheese to proceedings.

This year, they're going back a decade with none other than BANANARAMA, who are the first act announced for the Electric Ireland Throwback Party. They'll headline on Saturday night.

Founding members Sara Dallin and Keren Woodward said: "We are so excited to play Electric Picnic for the first time where we’ll take to the stage at Electric Ireland’s Throwback Party. We haven’t played in Ireland for a long time and have really missed playing to an Irish crowd.”

Yes, we know, many of the attendees at this year's EP won't know who they are, but those old enough to remember will hear songs like the below gem:
