The official reason for Electric Picnic's earlier-than-usual slot was to suit the availability of a certain headliner. Presumably it was Kylie Minogue, who first took to the stage at an Irish festival almost 30 years ago (Féile 95 in Cork) and was last seen here at the 3Arena in 2018.
Kylie's greatest hits are extensive, stretching back to the late 1980s and including 2023 album Tension, a brilliant collection of dance pop headed by the stunning 'Padam Padam'. That gets a showing near the end of her 90-minute set on Sunday night at Electric Picnic, with ‘Can’t Get You Out of My Head’ following - if you wanted an indicator of Kylie’s hit factory, that’s quite the one-two hit.
