Missing EP already? Then recap on these 10 deadly moments from the weekend

Ah, EP.

Why do you have to end? Why can’t we drink cans in a field in County Laois all year long?

If you, are like me and feeling the post-EP sadness then fear not, as we’ve put together a few of the biggest highlights from this year to help you crack a smile as you contemplate showering for the first time in four days and mend your hungover head.

1. Kendrick Lamar kicked off night one with a CRACKER of a show

2. An array of up and coming Irish acts performed over the weekend drawing in huge crowds like Dublin rap duo, Versatile, who performed in the Electric Arena to 12,000 people.

5. Picture This almost moved us to tears. They said the performance “felt special” and we certainly felt it too.
