Show Notes
Electric Picnic is over for another year. With headline acts as big as Hozier, Chappel Ronan and Kings of Leon taking to the main stage. The most talked about and in demand act of the weekend, Kneecap, took to the stage at 3:30 on Saturday afternoon.
Many festival goers weren’t happy with their time slot, but the afternoon didn’t seem to be an issue for the Irish rappers, and has been deemed a family favorite for all.
How are the band keeping young people politically engaged, and what did you make of them at Electric Picnic?
Joining Andrea to discuss is Journalist with the Irish Independent, Saoirse Hanley, as well as listeners who were there.
