It's the final countown to Electric Picnic 2016.

With just over 24 hours to go, over 2,000 performers and multiple stages – there is mighty craic to be had.

For all you lucky ticketholders, here's a list of things not to be missed this weekend at Stradbally Hall.

For everyone without a ticket, Saturday will be wet and blustery with persistent rain moving eastwards across the country alongside fresh, gusty southerly winds. Showers will follow soon on Saturday night and throughout Sunday.

1. The Hazel Wood

A newly discovered woodland haven in the ancient Stradbally forest with a programme of mesmerising storytelling through interactive theatre, immersive hauntings, shadow puppetry, visual displays, commedia dell’arte workshops, visual art and much, much more!

Songstress Cathy Davey will give an exclusive performance of her album on Friday night at midnight. Get there early to be sure to get a space for the very special, intimate performance.

2. Fr. Ted Special

To commemorate the 20th anniversary of ‘My Lovely Horse’, Trailer Park & My Lovely Ranch are throwing a full day celebration kicking things off with Father Alan’s Alternative Sunday Mass at 1.30pm.

There’ll be a table quiz, the Lovely Girls Competition which includes ‘The Lovely Walk’, ‘The Lovely Laugh’ and ‘The Lovely Sandwich’ along with the final of ‘A Rubbish Song for Europe’ and then a Eurovision Disco to top it all off! There’ll be some familiar faces there too with Fr. Damo, Neill Hannon and Ms. Doyle being among some of them!

3. Jenny Greene & The RTÉ Concert Orchestra

Live in the Rankins Wood tent from 9pm on Friday night 2FM are combining the dance music force that is Jenny Greene and the RTÉ Concert Orchestra to bring Picnickers club classics like they’ve never heard before!

4. Twenty-One Sixteen Parliament Hosted by Blindboy Boatclub

The Twenty-One Sixteen Parliament chaired by Ceann Comhairle Blindboy Boatclub of the Rubberbandits, with speakers including Prof Luke O’Neill of TCD, Dr. Rhona Mahony, Master of the National Maternity Hospital and Rosaleen McDonagh, a playwright from the Traveller community. It’s in the Leviathan tent in Mindfield from 4.50pm-5.50pm on Saturday.

5. The Lake

The ancestral lake behind Stradbally Hall is now open to Picnickers for swimming for the first time ever. It’s open until 7pm be sure to pack the swimming togs. Please see electricpicnic.ie for opening times for families & adults.

6. Anachronica

Hidden and lurking amongst the shadows the broken and somewhat dilapidated buildings of the long abandoned city that is Anachronica, were found looming through the tress.

Whatever its purposes this area of forgotten land seems to have a hypnotic effect on people and will be sure to draw revellers from near and far to keep them dancing into the small hours at this power generating machine.

7. Other Voices

In the heart of Stradbally Estate’s woodland area, Other Voices returns with an eclectic line-up. As the saying goes, expect the unexpected – magical performances from old friends and new, songs and tunes for the head and the heart! With Booka Brass kicking off proceedings from 4pm on Friday afternoon, they are sure to get the party started!
