The verdict on Outkast at Electric Picnic? It's been, eh, mixed

To put it mildly.

LAST NIGHT, ELECTRIC Picnic concluded with a highly anticipated performance from Outkast. The verdict on their performance?

Well, it’s not quite unanimous.

Some were effusive.

Whoops!

@Outkast was incredible last night! Best gig I've been to in a long time, will even excuse the fact they thought they were in Dublin!

While for others, the banter was awkward.

But, on the flipside…

Can't blame Outkast for thinking they are in Dublin. It's not like if you said, "Actually this is Laois" they'd go "Holy shit, Laois! Wow!"

As for the gig itself? Many didn’t love it. To put it mildly.

Meanwhile, on the campsite…

Everyone in this campsite is weakly singing "Caroliiiiine/CAROLINE" over and over. Trying to keep the dream alive. #ep2014
