Electric Arena, Saturday 4th September, 8.45pm

Describe in a tweet: Over and over and over and over and, then it was over.

What Happened: Only at an event like Electric Picnic could a massive band like Hot Chip seem like a warm-up for something bigger - in this case the much anticipated LCD Soundsystem.

The set was solid, but nothing really out of the ordinary for this well seasoned synth super-group.

And a sign that the London five-piece are growing up - singer Joe Goddard was absent from the stage, on paternity leave. In his place, an up-turned widescreen telly with his big face on it, singing along to the well trodden classics; Over and Over, I Feel Better and One Life Stand.

It was bizarre to watch, but only a band as quirky as HC could make a floating head singing pre-recorded tracks work. Though without him, the enthusiastic pint-sixed frontman Alexis Taylor had lost his dancing partner, and at times looked lost on the bare stage.

Nonetheless, the crowd grooved it out in the absolutely rammed Electric Arena, but it all seemed a tad reserved... maybe everyone was saving themselves for what was coming next.

Electric Dreams: Ready For The Floor had the packed crowd bouncing.

Ants at a picnic: Felt like they were holding something back.
