At Electric Picnic, live music is squished into every available stage, platform, tent, teepee or caravan that's available.

This year, the people behind the Just Eat Retreat have lined up a tasty (sorry) line-up of bands, DJs and artists to enjoy while you enjoy a bit of downtime and order some grub, which the Just Eat waiters will deliver to you.

Their line-up includes Al Doyle (Hot Chip/LCD Soundsystem), Fish Go Deep, Kelly-Anne Byrne, Arveene, Johnny Moy, Billy Scurry and more.
