You'll need your poncho! Weather will be as eclectic as Electric Picnic lineup

Tens of thousands of festival-goers will today be double- and triple-checking their lists, airing out the sleeping bags, and getting in the last-minute shopping ahead of this weekend’s music festival.

The festival, whose 55,000 tickets sold out in record time last March, will host headliners LCD Soundsystem, Chemical Brothers, and New Order over three days, as well as a billing of hundreds of acts.

However, Met Éireann has warned that the weekend’s weather will be as eclectic as the musical line-up, with both dry and wet spells predicted.
