Ireland’s Electric Picnic on “Best Musical Festivals in Europe” List

electricpicnicThe Electric Picnic music festival in Stradbally, Ireland has made the TimesOnline’s list of “Europe’s 20 best summer music festivals,” so we thought we’d take a moment to tell you about the festival in case you decide you want to go!

The article describes Electric Picnic as “Ireland’s boutique festival,” partly because it takes place on the 600-acre Stradballey Hall Estate outside Dublin. But additionally, the festival attracts an incredible lineup each year of musical acts that you’ve not only heard of, but that you’d actually be happy to pay money to see.

For Electric Picnic 2008, which runs from August 29-31, the musical lineup includes the Sex Pistols, Sinead O’Connor, Sigur Ros, My Bloody Valentine, Underworld, George Clinton and the P-Funk Allstars, Turin Brakes, The Breeders, Goldfrapp, Henry Rollins, Wilco, Duffy, The Roots, The Gossip and Franz Ferdinand. Electric Picnic also features a comedy element, as well as theatre, cinema, and spoken word performances. And with parts of the festival even focusing on the kids, there’s really something for everyone.
