Electric Picnic
29-31st August 2008

All about Electric Picnic

Held at: Stradbally Hall Estate, Stradbally, Co.Laois, Eire  - the electric picnic is a small festival with big attitude.

As with every year, the festival takes pride in showcasing the greatest music from around the world, iconic acts together with the hottest new acts.
There's a new stage added  this year - the Jazz & World Music Stage which will be hosted by the Improvised Music Company.  The International Comedy Club Stage returns a great nurturing ground for comedy and The Body & Soul Village will of course be once more pulsating to its own rhythm.

There's a lot to this festival so check out the more info button for the full low down on the amazing Electric Picnic happening!
