21 pictures of this year's Electric Picnic festival

It looked epic and oh, so very colourful.

OVER 35,000 FESTIVAL-goers spent the weekend in Stradbally, Co Laois at Electric Picnic 2013.

For the first time in a good few years it completely sold out. So that means some of you didn’t get to go, and if you’re feeling a bit left out this might make you feel better:

It looked epic and oh, so very colourful.

As it all comes to an end for another year tonight, here are 21 pictures of this year’s picnic:

    Nothing about the acts. It’s all about the type of concert goer it attracts. Says it all really.

    Girl on the left, give in to your urges. You are at Electric Picnic, if you want to experiment with other girls, don’t be bashful.

    I think the girl in pic. 8 should talk into the mike ;
    that’s what she’s there for, not standing around looking all pretty and stuff and no singin’ or talking out of her .

    Load of knackers this year, safe to say this was my 9th and final festival. Veering towards the oxegen type crowd. Celtic tops, track suits tucked into the socks job. Good night and god bless EP.

    At least the drugs makes them quiet as opposed to drink which makes them violent… thought there were an average amount of knackers there this year same as any year really… younger crowd but I am a year older…

    It was good but way to many on drugs at it this year. Blue ghosts were everywhere

    EP was amazing, well run, well organised an with plenty to entertain. Yes there were drug there but no more than any other year. I’m going there years and never get any hassle. Job well done once again lads. I can honestly say this event has nothing anywhere near the type of people that go to oxegen
