As another successful Electric Picnic came to a conclusion with Kylie Minogue last night, festival director Melvin Benn insisted there are no plans for it to be moved away from its September home in the near future, or for the capacity to be increased past the 75,000 mark — for now.

The festival was moved forward by two weeks this year but Mr Benn insisted this was not due to Kylie Minogue being unavailable for the usual September dates.
