Poetry Divas at Electric Picnic

Fresh from their triumphant appearance at Babble Festival in Cavan, The Poetry Divas will be making a welcome return to Electric Picnic.

When: Sunday 1st September
What time: 1.30 pm or thereabouts.
Where : The Word Stage, Mindfield

What: Start your Sunday off with some poetry. You know you want to.

Mindfield is that part of Electric Picnic where you never know what to expect. There's spoken word and cabaret, theatre and parliament, Science Gallery and the Theatre of Food. Make sure your weekend includes a taste of Mindfield.

Our buddies at Brownbread mixtape have two shows at Electric Picnic this year. The Word stage in Mindfield. 4pm Saturday and 5pm Sunday.  Well worth a look-see.

Nighthawks are also there and their lineup is a great mix. 5pm Saturday and 6pm Sunday.

And our friends at Caca Milis Cabaret are oozing with deliciousness too.

The Science Gallery always have events to spark ideas including the ever-popular Ignite.

Here's the full Mindfield lineup

We can't fit all 35,000 in The Word tent on Sunday around 1.30 but let's see how we get on.
