Electric Picnic is GO!

Greetings from Stradbally! As we type this, a quite frankly scarily-sized crowd is gathering inside and outside the Chatroom for Ed Sheeran's upcoming chat with Celina Murphy, who kicked off proceedings with Australian rockers and new bessie mates of Team Hot Press, The Jezebels.

Earlier, the Main Stage was kicked off in raucous fashion by Kormac's Big Band, experts at such an occasion. Check out a full gallery of their set here.

Post Sheeran-mania, the Chatroom is primed and ready for appearances from The Vaccines, The Maccabees, Delorentos and more. Keep a close eye on hotpress.com for more EP-related content coming your way across the weekend.
