Before next week’s Electric Picnic mixtape arrives along with the stage times (some are here already), here’s something to aid your festival homework, a track each from as many of the acts playing in Stradbally next weekend as are on Spotify.
The final tally ended up being 188 artists with close over 13 hours of music. They’re all listed here. I recommend hitting Shuffle and seeing what happens.
