At Electric Picnic, Violet Grohl’s 30-minute set has highlights but some obvious issues

Violet Grohl performed at Electric Picnic 2026, delivering a 30-minute set that included highlights like 'Bug in the Cake,' a tribute to her Irish grandmother, and 'Applefish,' a melancholic ballad showcasing her artistic potential. However, the performance had notable shortcomings, including a lack of camaraderie with her band and signs of strain under the pressure of being in the public eye at a young age. The article notes that while she benefits from her family connections in the music industry, this may hinder her ability to develop independently. Her performance was described as low-energy and somewhat disengaged, raising questions about whether she will emerge as a major force in rock music.
