The princess of pop – one of the most influential women in the world, according to Time magazine – has had so many hits that her shows are all killer, no filler. She’s back to perform in Ireland after almost six years, hot on the tails of her sold-out six-month Las Vegas residency at the Venetian. With her back catalogue crammed with irresistible pop rhythms, there’s little doubt that the main arena at Electric Picnic will be thronged forperformance on the festival’s final night.
Who among us doesn’t like to have their ears pulverised into submission by pinpoint-perfect rock/metal music? A couple of months go, after a spell rethinking and recalibrating, the Co Dublin band Fangclub released All Good, their comeback five-track EP.

Rocket science? No.
