VIDEO: Spirit of David Bowie lives on at Electric Picnic

For all the hundreds of live acts that played Electric Picnic over the weekend, it was the spectre a man who died earlier this year that was omnipresent across Stradbally.

David Bowie was everywhere — as Friday night came to a close, a collective of musicians played a tribute set of his greatest hits, only for Saturday’s schedule to kick off hours later with the Trinity Orchestra, aided by Hozier, playing their own take on the Thin White Duke’s back catalogue.

The tributes weren’t limited to the stage, as many of the 55,000 attendees donned T-shirts bearing Bowie’s image, and others wore Aladdin Sane lightning-bolt facepaint.
