THE ELECTRIC PICNIC, ALAS, is over again for another year.

Around 30,000 people headed to Stradbally, Co Laois, and suffered some pretty sloppy weather to catch the music, comedians, speakers, drama, and general carry on of EP 2010.

For those who couldn’t make it – or who went but found Monday rolled around way too soon – The Journal.ie has put together a selection of the best images from the festival.

Enjoy:
