Electric Picnic

So much for the sunshine… it’s raining at the picnic

REVELLERS making their way to Stradbally for the second day of the Electric Picnic festival are advised to scrap their plans for bringing sun-tan lotion and instead to stock up on wellington boots – it’s rained heavily on the site overnight and what was a summery wonderland has now turned considerably muddier. Last night’s headliners, Roxy Music, were apparently great. John Lydon must not have been too happy with his PiL crowd last night – the Irish Times’ Jim Carroll reports that Lydon was spotted in Dublin Airport fleeing the country this morning.
