YESTERDAY WAS THE second big night of Electric Picnic 2014. Here’s how it went, according to the tweets emanating from a field in Laois.

Some people were still recovering from the night before.

Amnesia about last night. Didn't remember being at Blondie but I can still taste that burger. Yum #EP2014 @EPfestival

Others took a wander around the merchandise stands.

There was widespread disagreement about RTE Two’s Picnic coverage. We’ve summed it up in these two tweets.

And then Chic took the stage and absolutely lifted the roof off. Nile Rodgers tweeted this photo afterwards:
