With a charmingly diverse line-up, quirky non-musical attractions and surprisingly balmy weather, this year’s Electric Picnic had something for everyone.

Pop priestess Grace Jones, dance veterans Underworld, and student disco icons Belle and Sebastian were among the highlights as the Electric Picnic music festival began at Stradbally, Co Laois, Friday night.

The 55-strong RTÉ Concert Orchestra is to make its festival debut at this year's Electric Picnic, it was announced today.
