Quiz: Can you identify these festivals from the bad weather photos?

All Together Now festival kicked off yesterday, and there’s more rain on the way.

THOUSANDS OF REVELLERS have descended on Curraghmore House in Waterford as All Together Now festival kicked off yesterday.

Loyle Carner and Jessie Ware performed last night, with Jamie xx, Caribou, Iggy Pop and more set to play over the Bank Holiday weekend. 

One thing that festival-goers won’t enjoy is the weather, which will be mixed at best with sunny spells and scattered showers to continue until Sunday.

Rain and mud at festivals is nothing unusual though, and frequent attendees will have prepared with rain ponchos and wellies to get them through the weekend.

But how familiar are you with this? Can you identify these muddy festivals from the photos?

    @Chris O’Brien: Whoever thought it was a good idea to have outdoor festivals in Ireland. Too risky, the only people happy and making money are the event organizers.

    I’ve been to festivals every summer for most of my life. I’ve seen thunder storms, mud etc. Stopped going 5 years ago. But I’ve never seen or read about conditions this bad. There needs to be a rethink about venues. This is not normal
