For reasons God only knows, Electric Picnic has been organised to coincide with a crucial Ireland soccer match on Saturday as well as the All-Ireland Hurling Final on Sunday. 

Festival goers resigned to missing the two big occasions need not fret as both games will be shown onsite at the Stradbally festival.

Newstalk's Off The Ball tent will be taking care of sports fans over the weekend by screening the World Cup qualifier between Georgia and Ireland at 5pm on Saturday as well as the hurling showpiece between Waterford and Galway at 3.30pm on Sunday.
