In terms of summer festivals, it was a case of leaving the best 'til last. Electric Picnic, back for its third year, pulled out all the stops musically and aesthetically by catering to the every whim of the modern festival patron.
Music festivals just aren't what they used to be - but in a good way. Don't fancy slumming it in a tent? No bother, rent a weekend cabin if you can afford it at €295.
Fancy keeping your festival look glamorous despite the heavy rain?
Off you pop to the on-site powder room to get your hair and make-up sorted.
Sick of cheeseburgers and battered sausages? Why not try some Sushi or Indian instead.
But for most of the 32,500 people who descended upon Stradbally, Co Laois, it was all about the music, and the lengths that the organisers went to to make the whole event run smoothly just enhanced the experience.
One problem for absent-minded drivers though was that some of the car parks weren't clearly marked with a letter, leaving some people roaming identical fields for hours in search of their cars.
The designer wellies were out in force as people splashed along in the rain to the likes of Massive Attack and Basement Jaxx, while Laurent Garnier was last night the highly anticipated final act to close the festival.
For those who wanted a break from the music, there were plenty of other distractions. Comedy, cinema and even some politically-charged discussions in the Leviathan Think Tank were ongoing over the three days.
Keen to stand out as a socially conscientious music festival, this year's Electric Picnic had a range of charity and eco-friendly initiatives.
Amnesty International were last night hoping to break the record for the world's biggest toast.
They were anticipating that 15,000 people would turn out to the main stage and raise a glass to freedom.
A compulsory €30 donation by complimentary ticket holders (of which there were well over 1,000) went towards a range of local social and medical services.
Gardaí at the festival said that the crowd were generally well behaved.
There were a number of small drugs seizures made according to the gardaí, but no major public order incidents occurred.
The Electric Picnic continues to get bigger and better. It now rivals what many Irish concert-goers previously had to travel across the water to the Glastonbury Festival in search of.
