Video: Electric Picnic bound Outkast, London Grammar, The 1975 all played at Lollapalooza over the weekend

This will really get you in the mood for The Picnic...

It's August which means it's Electric Picnic month and to say we're excited about it here in JOE is a massive understatement, we cannot wait for the end of the month. The line-up, as always, is an eclectic mix of artists with some well established heavyweights in the shape of Outkast, Beck and Portishead headlining and then some of the brightest new talents in music in the shape of SOHN, Nick Mulvey, Duke Dumont and Hozier. There is something there for everyone. Since it is festival season, a lot of the bands are touring the world playing different countries and some of the Electric Picnic acts were out in force at Lollapalooza over the weekend. Billboard put together short videos of some of the bands performing live and we've picked out some of the ones that will be playing in Laois at the end of the month...
