UPDATE: BLONDIE added to the Hotpress Chatroom lineup for Electric Picnic!

Team Hot Press is packing the wellies and sunscreen - ready for anything, we are - are preparing to decamp to Stradbally for the annual extravaganza that is Electric Picnic.

Of course, we were eager to have a little company, so reached out to some of our friends to come by for a few tunes, a chat and a chance to connect with you, their wonderful fans. Unsurprisingly, they were only too happy.

Below is a projected timetable for the fun and games to be found in the Hot Press Chatroom. Of course, festivals can't quite be timed down to the minute; this timetable might be subject to some changes. The best way to make sure you miss nothing is to pop by our humble dwelling in the Mindfield, and keep an eye right here on hotpress.com!
