Electric Picnic 2010 - Saturday

Day 2 of the Irish Music and Arts Festival

The massive crowds for home-grown talent, The Frames, a larger body and soul arena, the family atmosphere and being chased by the characters from Alice in Wonderland in the Arts and Theatrics arena!

Seasick Steve bringing a girl onstage to serenade, Alice Glass from Crystal Castles crowd surfing and the Hypnotic Brass Ensemble. The 9-piece Chicago-based brass group literally gave away the shirts on their back!

Lowlights:
The beginning of the ATM machines running out of cash!
