Irish broadcaster confirms live TV coverage of sold-out Electric Picnic festival

TG4 has announced it will be providing live coverage from the sold-out Electric Picnic Music and Arts Festival which takes place this coming weekend.

TG4 will be the only TV station with live coverage of the festival in Stradbally, County Laois this year after RTÉ opted against doing so for the sixth consecutive year.

'BEO ón Electric Picnic', presented by Síomha Ní Ruairc and John Sharpson will feature live music performances from artists performing on the Collchoill (Hazelwood) and Pubail Gaeilge stages. 

Aside from the acts performing across those two stages, there will be podcasts, yoga sessions, a céilí mor, comedy and all the latest from the Gaeltacht camping site.
