I'd the best time at Electric Picnic. Shattered, but it was great. Reviewed Sam Fender at the main stage last night. You can read it here: www.irishtimes.com/culture/musi...

Sam Fender is not a typical frontman but his songs really connect with Electric Picnic audience
Fans sing so hard that at times it’s hard to hear the main man over extremely questionable yodelling
