Electric Picnic is over and out for another year and after a Covid-19 hiatus, it was easy to forget the dramatic highs and lows that come with the weekend-long camping festival.
This year, it rained. A lot. By Friday night, many of the admittedly poorly-erected tents had flooded. But when the morning came, the sun was out again, and it felt like everything was going to be OK. The cycle continued for the weekend and the glimpses of sunshine were the glimmer of hope needed to get through another day.
