Pick of the week: Rock and pop

Hydro Connect Festival
Inverary Castle
Saturday 30, Sunday 31
Fine boutique-style festival (as in very decent food, whisky and spa offerings on the side) on the banks of Loch Fyne with the indie biggies, notably Bloc Party and Elbow.

Electric Picnic
Stradbally Hall Estate, Stradbally
Saturday 30, Sunday 31
The Irish Glastonbury (but better) returns, including Franz Ferdinand, Cut Copy, School Of Language and the return of the mighty That Petrol Emotion.

Supergrass
The Academy, Dublin
Wednesday 3, Thursday 4 Sept
Not so cy Young, not so green, but everything back up to being alright for the perpetually underrated Oxford Britpop threesome. Guaranteed sway-along fun.
