It's bigger than we expected.

We did not expect this.

Earlier on today we found out that Mumford & Sons would be headlining the Sunday of Longitude.

Just when we thought they couldn’t top that, they’ve announced the Saturday headliner and it’s HUGE.

None other than the Weeknd will be playing the Marlay Park festival on Saturday, July 15th.

Excuse us while we squeal with excitement.

Joining The Weeknd and Mumford & Sons are some other great acts, including Skepta, Picture This, Catfish & The Bottlemen, Jack Garratt, Kaytranada, Glass Animals, Mac Miller, MC, DJ Wiley, Kaleo, Dua Lipa, Milky Chance, Tom Misch, Loyle Carner, Her, Raye, The Very Best, Jorja Smith and Baaba Maal, Lucy Rose and Rex Orange County.

The headliner for Friday has yet to be confirmed but an official announcement will be made next week.

Tickets for Longitude go on sale at 9am Friday, March 10th through Ticketmaster. Weekend tickets cost €189.50, two-day tickets cost €129.50 and day tickets cost €69.50.
