SUMMER MUSIC FESIVALS

Time to dust off those wellies, begin the annual search for tent pegs (just where do those things go?!) and break out those outfits that you'd never be caught dead in anywhere else - it's festival season! This summer is about as packed a summer festival schedule as we've ever had on this island, with an incredible list of acts playing across the country over the course of the next few months.

It was looking up in the air for a while, but Electric Picnic will return this year for its tenth anniversary ensuring that this is one picnic that you can expect some birthday cake at. Not only that, Oxegen will also reclaim its position among Ireland's festival elite when it makes its return to Punchestown after taking some well deserved time off last year. The newcomer to the festival calendar this year is Longitude, which will take over Dublin's Marlay Park for three nights in July (and boasts a whopper of a line-up too). As well as the big boys, there's a music festival this summer to cater for just about every musical taste and budget, like Camden Crawl, Castlepalooza, Sea Sessions and Body & Soul among many more.

We'll be spreading our net across the country to bring you just about every bit of news, every line-up announcement, all the hottest snaps, ticket information, interviews and just about everything else you can imagine from all the top festivals in Ireland this summer right here, so leave it to us to make sure you don't miss a beat!

Not to bother you too much but this year we've joined forces with thinkcontraception.ie to help promote the message of safer sex at festivals across Ireland, something we think is very important. Sharing a tent with a brand new friend might seem like the best idea you've ever had in a field in Laois at four in the morning - just as long as you're aware of the risks!
