Electric Picnic is only nine days away, and Casa Bacardi have finally released their stage times for their stellar line-up, featuring Detroit Swindle, Heidi and Mark Knight as headliners.

Support will be provided by Boots & Kats, Riff Shop, Get Down Edits, Magnier, Adult Store and Jimmy Rouge, so it's set to be a wild ride.

Soaking up that party atmosphere has never been easier since the arrival of the award-winning Casa Bacardi stage, where Latin street-culture meets music lovers.

Toast House residents Adult Store will perform at 2pm, Orange Tree Edits DJ and producer Jimmy Rouge at 4pm and disco-house duo Get Down Edits at 6pm to round up the daytime acts.

Music heavyweight and producer Mark Knight will close out the sold-out weekend from 10pm on Sunday, supported by DJ legend Al Gibbs.

Electric Picnic will take place from August 30 until September 1 in Stradbally, County Laois.

The festival sold out almost immediately this year, so any gigs will be special to witness. Check out the Bacardi bartenders making the weekend's tastiest cocktails to match the summer sounds.

Over the past 24 hours, a particular cartoon depiction of Serena Williams has been causing outrage online. 

The cartoon, by The Herald Sun artist Mark Knight, shows the tennis legend smashing her racket in a rage.

The cartoon has been widely criticised as being sexist and accused of using racist stereotypes. 

The newspaper's editor, Damon Johnston has defended the cartoon, writing on Twitter that it 'is not racist or sexist …. it rightly mocks poor behaviour by a tennis legend … Mark has the full support of everyone.' 

High profile figures have criticised the cartoon, including author JK Rowling. 

'Well done on reducing one of the greatest sportswomen alive to racist and sexist tropes and turning a second great sportswoman into a faceless prop,' she tweeted. 

Knight denied that the cartoon was racist, telling 3AW radio's Neil Mitchell:

'It's a cartoon about poor behaviour … People said I’m racist because I drew Serena as an African-American woman.'

'I drew her as a powerful figure, which is what she is. She's strongly built.'

Serena Williams has since been fined $17,000 for her outburst at the US Open Final.

After 20 years of fame, supermodel Kate Moss is still one the most beautiful and mysterious figures out there.

In a rare interview with photographer and friend, Nick Knight, Kate opens up about the iconic Calvin Klein Obsession ad campaign which skyrocketed her to fame at the young age of 17.

Behind the shoot was Kate’s then boyfriend, photographer Mario Sorentti. The 41-year-old model explains how Sorentti’s obsession with her was what lead to the couple splitting after a year of dating.

She discusses how he would constantly be taking photos of her, using her as his muse: “It was obsession; he was obsessed,” Moss tells Knight.

“I’d wake up in the morning and he would be taking pictures of me, I’d be like, “f**k off!”

Kate also discusses how supermodels such as Naomi Campbell and Christy Turlington took her under their wing while she adjusted to a life of fame.

Unfortunately Kate’s speaking out doesn’t give too much away about her past relationship with Johnny Depp referring to it as, “whatever”.

However, Maureen Callahan, the author who wrote a biography on Kate in 2014, said that when the pair were a couple they “both had ravenous appetites for alcohol, drugs, cigarettes, sex”.

The couple dated from 1994 to 1997 and according to Callahan, Depp “broke her heart”.

Kate is now married to English guitarist Jamie Hince. It has also just been announced that she is to feature in a new Mango campaign alongside Cara Delevingne.
