Transmission, the space themed spot where Electric Picnic attendees can chill between sets, is returning to the festival for it's third year.

A blend of art and music, this year will see DJs DanceNasty, Fitz and Furlong play everything from house, techno, tribal to garage from twilight until late, blasting thumping vinyl beats to accompany the futuristic pulsating light displays.

This festival Transmission boasts two new intergalactic installation pieces - Moon and Stargate.

Moon is a 5ft fiberglass moon and satellite structure made from stainless steel and suspended high in the canopy of Electric Picnic's woods.

Meanwhile, Stargate is a 13ft diameter portal positioned above the entrance to Transmission. It's made up of a fibreglass body adorned with pulsating lights and intergalactic projections.

Electric Picnic takes place in Stradbally, Co Laois this year between August 31 and September 2.
