It’s Picnic time again. Ireland’s largest multi-day music festival, Electric Picnic, returns to Stradbally, Co Laois on September 1 to 3. 

Long gone are the days when this was an artisanal festival with a boutique vibe. Nowadays, it’s a mainstream event with upwards of 70,000 attending, multiple stages and major label headliners to match its scale.
