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.

Joining Andrea to discuss is Journalist with the Irish Independent, Saoirse Hanley, as well as listeners who were there.
