Electric Picnic director dismisses crowd safety concerns as ‘bonkers’
Armand Van Helden set on Friday cancelled as organisers were not willing to risk injuries
CMAT, the Meath-born singer, has been confirmed to perform on the Main Stage at the Electric Picnic Festival in Stradbally, Co Laois. This comes after she had to cancel a show in Paris last night due to illness. In an Instagram post, CMAT expressed her inability to travel to Paris due to illness. She updated her fans today, stating her intention to perform at the festival.
She also marked the one-year anniversary of the release of her chart-topping album EURO-COUNTRY, describing the past year as challenging to put into words. CMAT shared a video highlighting some of the memorable moments. She is scheduled to take the stage before Gorillaz. However, festival-goers should be aware that the weather forecast is not looking promising.
Met Éireann has issued a national advisory predicting widespread rain and possible thunderstorms throughout the weekend, with a risk of localised flooding.
