Line-up, News and Updates for this year's Electric Picnic Festival

Electric Picnic
When: 2 - 4 September 2011
Where: Stradbally Hall Estate, Stradbally, Co. Laois, Eire
How much: 240 euros for the weekend

Ireland's foremost music and arts festival revisits it's site at Stradbally Hall Estate this summer for a 8th year in a row. And it's no wonder that Electric Picnic made it into our Top 20 festivals for 2010 because its bill looks to be electrical.

Electric Picnic seeks to enrich all six senses for each and every festival-goer boasting a spread of good music, theatre, comedy, holistic health and art. We like the sound of that.

Festival's organisers have secured Arcade Fire, Pulp, The Chemical Brothers, Interpol, PJ Harvey and Beirutfor this year's line-up.

With seven music stages, six small mini sites for art and theatrics, eight tents for comedy and spoken word, and five places in which to celebrate everything body and soul we can guarantee that you won't be bored and will leave with all six senses exhausted.
