With just over 2 weeks to go to Electric Picnic the countdown begins. The pleading with the powers that be to give us 3 measly days of dry weather, the planning of what bands you’re inevitably going to have to sacrifice seeing, the ever important checklist of absolute necessities and more pleading with anybody who’ll listen for decent weather.
Here’s our list of absolute musts. The rest, my friends, is up to you.
Alabama 3, Basement Jaxx, Bat for Lashes, Brian Wilson, Dinosaur Jr, Echo and The Bunnymen, Fionn Regan, Fleet Foxes, Halfset, Imelda May, Jape, Lamb, Lisa Hannigan, Marina and The Diamonds, Orbital, Richmond Fontaine, Rodrigo Y Gabriela, Roots Manuva, Royskopp, Seasick Steve, The Lost Brothers, The Wailers.
There’s a heap of Irish acts, kudos to EP. Do some research into the line up and discover some new music this weekend. Let us know what acts you’re planning on seeing (or imaging you would go and see if you had tickets!)
