Also, @ElectricIreland had some HEROES show up to battle it out for their #ThrowbackParty at @EPfestival #EP2016 pic.twitter.com/b9toQGESRB — Her.ie (@Herdotie) September 3, 2016One of the highlights of the day was when 2FM DJ Jenny Greene joined up with the RTÉ Concert Orchestra to play some classic '90s tunes in Rankin's Wood. The whole tent was packed out and they nearly blew the roof off it.
The party seemed to kick off almost instantly at the likes of Casa Bacardi and Heineken Sound Stage with packed out crowds filling those sections from early on.FULL HOUSE for @RTE2fm's @djjennygreene & @rte_co at @EPfestival pic.twitter.com/4Y6zYolwLH

Packed out crowd at #CasaBacardi in #EP2016 pic.twitter.com/4jsc8IL62c — Her.ie (@Herdotie) September 2, 2016As expected, the main stage attracted huge crowds at various times of the day with the likes of ABC, Ryan Sheridan and Nas taking to the stage and of course The Chemical Brothers will play to the masses later on.
An epic dance off was housed in Electric Ireland's Throwback Party with classic tunes being belted out as two people took the stage to compete.Crowds starting to gather at the main stage at #EP2016 A video posted by Her.ie (@herdotie) on

It wouldn't be @EPfestival without Maniac 2000 #EP2016 pic.twitter.com/CphuO6Ct88 — Her.ie (@Herdotie) September 2, 2016Some people put in a lot of effort when it came to costumes and outfits with these two brothers from Walkinstown, Dublin, going in their Cool Runnings gear, bobsled and all.
Outfit of the day? A strong contender! @EPfestival #EP2016 pic.twitter.com/LToVqv2Dkf — Her.ie (@Herdotie) September 2, 2016The party is only just getting started in Stradbally with the likes of the rave in the wood, Anachronica, not kicking off until midnight. We'll be back bright and early tomorrow for more fun at Electric Picnic so make sure you follow us on Snapchat (Her.ie) and also on Instagram (Herdotie) for live updates throughout the weekend.
