Friday night headliner Kendrick Lamar played an explosive set which will go down in Electric Picnic lore.
Jackie Fox writes:
"Fans rushed to the stage in heavy rain to see the Pulitzer Prize-winner.
"From the beginning, Lamar's emotion hypnotised the crowd.
"The DAMN. rapper passionately hammered out tracks like HUMBLE., DNA. and King Kunta to tens of thousands of people.
"Drenched Picnickers screamed his fast-paced, sometimes politically-fuelled lyrics back at him.
"His unassuming power charged Stradbally Hall, leaving a big space to fill for the remaining headliners this weekend."
@kendricklamar Could you turn the volume down please, I’m at Electric Picnic and I’m trying to have a decent kip. Kind Regards, Tanya.
