The Low Down :
Never been to the festival yet! I thought this year was going to be the electric picnic year. I have grown old of Oxegen not the line up just the atmosphere and attendants. Electric picnic boosts a powerful line-up but i still was disappointed not sure why but it hasn't made me go crazy and steal €240 yet!
Maybe come Friday I will have that urge. My top picks are highlighted in green and i would love to see Bright Eyes and wilco. who knows might see you there.
