14 classic photos from Electric Picnic a decade ago
THE LIKES OF Bjork, LCD Soundsystem and Primal Scream headlined Electric Picnic all the way back in 2007.
But to get a true sense of how much things have changed, you have to delve into the publicly-available photos from Stradbally from a decade ago.
1. You had Jonathan Rhys Meyers strutting around like the Jamie Dornan of ’07
2. Green Party in da house
3. Trevor Sargent and Eamon Ryan in coalition government and loving life
“God, the economy is going great”
4. The full Smurf costume was still the go-to look
5. And the tranquil sea of tents remained
6. Bucket hats were worn without irony
7. Look at this combination: a can of Prazsky and a gas mask
For all the antics.
8. In fact, nearly all photos of people in costumes are accompanied by a can in hand – proving EP has stayed true to its core values
9. The Polyphonic Spree were headliners, with all that that entailed
10. There’s the Crawdaddy Stage in all its 2007 glory
11. Stonewashed jeans as far as the eye can see
12. The runners on the guy on the left really distracts from his costume if we’re honest
13. The 2007 Picnic contained shenanigans and Army Fatigue shorts
14. A time that Jarvis Cocker really looked like Ed Byrne doing a stand up set
How time flies.
