Neven Maguire set to show off DJ skills with a set at Electric Picnic
EP is set to take place later this month with tens of thousands of festival goers set to descend on Stradbally Hall at the end of August.
And with new additions to the lineup being announced along with new stages, EP organisers have announced the return of the Theatre of Food stage — with international flavours, cooking demonstrations and cocktail shows.

However, the pièce de résistance comes from Cavan-born Neven, with the celeb chef doing both a cooking demo and a live DJ set of his favourite tracks alongside fellow DJ/chef Marcus O'Laoire.
Other chefs that will also be on the main stage of the Theatre of Food include Michelin Star chef JP McMahon, Johnny 'The Hungry Hooker' Murphy, and the Cupcake Bloke Graham Herterich.
A number of cooking exhibitions will take place across the Theatre's three stages, and on Sunday the annual Theatre of Food brunch will take place in support of Irish Cancer Society and Cancer Care West.
Well… now we're hungry! 🍴🧑🍳 From sizzling cook-offs to live DJ sets 💿 (yes, Neven Maguire is doing both), prepare to experience more than 35 culinary performances across 3 delicious stages – Theatre of Food, Drinks Theatre, and the Garden Stage.
Expect Michelin-starred… pic.twitter.com/SAJ9KzWdj3

160,000 Oasis fans to descend on Croke Park thi
The first of two Oasis concert takes place at Croke Park today, as the Irish leg of their long awaited reunion tour gets under way. 160,000 fans will descend on Dublin to see the band in their first performance in Ireland since 2009. Its 16 years since a feud between brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher brought the band that defined Britpop to an end. The Oasis split came just weeks after they headlined at Slane Castle in Co Meath But late last year the pair announced that they'd put their differences behind them and the band would reform for a tour. A scramble for tickets ensued, with hundreds of thousands of fans who queued virtually unable secure a seat and many who did, left shocked by the cost put down to a process called dynamic pricing, which sparked an investigation by the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission here Since early July the band have performed 15 nights of their Live 25 tour in the UK in Cardiff, Manchester, London and Edinburgh. Liam and Noel's Mayo-born mother, Peggy, is expected to attend this weekend's performances and with deep ties to both Mayo and Meath, fans will be hoping the Dublin shows will prove particularly meaningful. Extra trains are running in Dublin for the event, there's no early queuing or camping allowed at Croke Park and under 14s mist be accompanied by an adult. Oasis are due on stage around 8pm on both nights.
