Setlist: Sigur Ros, Electric Picnic, 30 August 2008

Sigur Ros always fill tents when they play festivals, but Saturday's performance at Electric Picnic was their first taste of outdoor Ireland. Luckily the weather held up, and it was a perfect evening for lying on the grass and listening to the ethereal sounds of Iceland's finest act (no disrespect to Bjork!)

Wanted: Electric Picnic Setlists

There's loads, and I know you guys have them. So if you do remember anything outside of the drink-filled-haze when you weren't causing devilment in your merriment, please email any setlist to swearimnotpaul@gmail.com

Thanks

Setlist: Wilco, Electric Picnic, 30 August 2008

A short and sweet 40-minute set from US rockers Wilco, but Jeff Tweedy and company were very impressive during their short stint on the Main Stage on Saturday. 'Impossible Germany' is a great song from their latest album Sky Blue Sky, a record that just doesn't get enough credit.

Misunderstood
Impossible Germany
Shot in the Arm
You Are My Face
I Am Trying to Break Your Heart
Hummingbird
Walken
I'm the Man Who Loves You
I'm A Wheel

Setlist: Underworld, Electric Picnic, 30 August 2008

Underworld played a stonker of a set in the Electric Arena, and even busted out unreleased fan favourite 'You Do Scirbble'. I didn't see them myself, but I hear they were excellent.

Spoonman
Glam Bucket
Rez
Beautiful Burnout
King Of Snake
Two Months Off
You Do Scribble
Nuxx

And by the way, do you think Mike Baldwin named his factory after them?

Setlist: Josh Ritter, Electric Picnic, 30 August 2008

One of the highlights of the Electric Picnic 2008 festival must definitely be Josh Ritter. He's been adored in Ireland for many a year now, and from the evidence of his Crawdaddy Stage performance, rightly so!

Bright Smile
Wolves
Good Man
To the Dogs or whoever
Right Moves
Fireflies
Rumours
Real long distance
Kathleen
Empty Hearts
