FOOD! Ok, now that we have your attention, we've an important food announcement for anyone heading to Electric Picnic this year.
The festival has just announced the lineup for their Theatre of Food, and it's bound to make you hungry. This is where some of Ireland's most talented food lovers showcase their skills all weekend long.
There will be loads of well-known faces cooking up some delicious meals, including Rosanna Davison, The Happy Pear, Ballymaloe's Rory O'Connell, and mixologists Paul McKenna, Oisin Davis and Alan Kavanagh. Jonathan McCrea will also be there, showing all how strange the science behind food can be!
