Whether you have a ticket in hand or you are celebrating the festival from home, this is the perfect moment to build a Hitster pack that captures the spirit of Electric Picnic. With Hitify, you can identify every anthem associated with EP stages and turn them into your own custom card game.

What is Electric Picnic?

Electric Picnic was founded in 2004 on the beautiful grounds of Stradbally Estate in County Laois, Ireland. What started as a boutique alternative to the standard festival circuit quickly became a cultural institution. The EP lineup spans everything from indie rock and electronic music to folk, comedy, and theatre, making it one of the most creatively diverse festivals in Europe.

Over the years, Electric Picnic has hosted legendary acts including Daft Punk, Arcade Fire, The Killers, Florence and the Machine, Tame Impala, Billie Eilish, and countless others. But what makes EP special is the spirit of the crowd: curious, warm, and fiercely proud of their festival.

What is Hitster?

Hitster is the card game where you guess the release year of songs. Each card carries a QR code that plays the real track through your phone. You listen, then try to place the card in the correct spot on your growing timeline. Get the year right and you keep the card. The player with the most cards at the end wins.

A festival-themed Hitster pack is perfect for pre-festival warmups, post-festival gatherings, or any time you want to test your music knowledge with friends. And with Hitify, building the pack is fast: just let Hitify listen to music around you and it identifies the song, the artist, and the release year in seconds.

The beauty of an Electric Picnic-themed pack is that it mixes genres and decades in a way few other festivals can match. Here are 12 essential tracks to include:

• "Sunday Bloody Sunday" - U2 (1983) - the Irish rock anthem that still sends chills through any crowd, especially when played in Ireland
• "Don't Look Back in Anger" - Oasis (1996) - possibly the greatest festival singalong ever written
• "Bitter Sweet Symphony" - The Verve (1997) - that string sample is one of the most recognisable openings in music history
• "Wake Up" - Arcade Fire (2004) - the track that defined a generation of indie festival-goers
• "Dog Days Are Over" - Florence and the Machine (2009) - a soaring indie anthem built for open fields and summer skies
• "Breezeblocks" - Alt-J (2012) - the song that introduced Alt-J to festival stages worldwide
• "Get Lucky" - Daft Punk ft. Pharrell Williams (2013) - Daft Punk headlined Electric Picnic and this track became a defining moment
• "Riptide" - Vance Joy (2013) - an indie-folk earworm that took over festival playlists
• "Royals" - Lorde (2013) - the New Zealand teenager who changed what pop music could sound like
• "The Less I Know the Better" - Tame Impala (2015) - psychedelic, danceable, and virtually impossible to date without thinking carefully
• "bad guy" - Billie Eilish (2019) - the minimalist pop banger that swept festivals around the world
• "Heat Waves" - Glass Animals (2020) - the slow-burn indie hit that became one of the most-streamed songs of the 2020s

These tracks span nearly four decades and jump between rock, indie, electronic, and pop. Some will be instant. Some will catch your friends off guard. That is exactly the right mix for a Hitster pack.
