Although the full day and stage breakdown for Electric Picnic will not be released until the week preceding the event (which takes place in Stradbally Hall, Co. Laois on 3rd, 4th & 5th September), the official festival website - www.electricpicnic.ie - today posted a day-by-day list of acts. ROXY MUSIC will headline the festival’s Main Stage on Friday night, LEFTFIELD on Saturday night, and MASSIVE ATTACK on Sunday night - but there’s also a hell of a lot of other greatness to behold outside of the headline acts!
So – highlighter pens at the ready – it’s time to start planning your festival weekend! Who are your must-sees acts for this year’s festival? Can you spot any potentially devastating clashes? Or is this all completely over your head as you’re planning on spending the entire weekend chilling out in the Body & Soul area?!
