Looking for a different festival? Head to the Electric Picnic in Ireland

Electric Picnic 2010 in Stradbally, County Laois, Ireland promises to be a fantastic weekend festival with confirmed acts such as Mumford & Sons, Seasick Steve, the Horrors and Roxy May.

If you're a seasoned festival goer who is looking for something a bit different this year, why not take a ferry to Ireland to visit the festival that US magazine Billboard describes as a "a magnificent rock n roll circus, a textbook example of everything a festival should be". With its line up pitched slightly more eclectic than the mainstream, it has much to attract the festival goer who is looking for something a bit different whilst still remaining mainstream enough to appeal to a broad range of people.

One of the other things that sets the festival apart from the average is its focus on quality accommodation and food services, something which may appeal to who fear waking to discover their tent is in a stream of mud. There is also a strong focus on eco friendly initiatives.

Other attractions at the festival include the body and soul arena, 24 hour cinema, silent disco and the International Comedy Tent.

The best way to reach Electric Picnic 2010 is via ferries to Rosslare (2 hours' driving away) or Dublin (1 hour away), operated by P&O Irish Sea, Irish Ferries, Stena Line and Norfolk Line.
