THE ELECTRIC PICNIC – The Boutique Music Festival
Stradbally Hall Estate just 55 minutes from Dublin

Just when you thought it was all over for the summer……you’ve experienced the

highs and the lows of summer gigs……….. POD brings you the final summer

festival to hang up your festival boots on a high - The Electric Picnic –

The Boutique Musical Festival on Saturday September 4th.

The eclectic line up Groove Armada, Super Furry Animals, Jurassic 5 ,

Grandmaster Flash Arrested Development, Lee Scratch Perry plus band, David

Kitt, Erol Alkan, Pump Djs, Soulwax and 2 Many DJ's, are amongst the quality

acts confirmed to date for this boutique style festival which will take

place in the intimate settings of Stradbally Hall a 500 acre estate, just 55

minutes from Dublin in Co Laois.

The rolling lawns of Stradbally Hall will provide the perfect setting for a

feast of first rate quality music, entertainment and food on its picturesque

estate surrounded by forest. With capacity limited to 15,000 ………forget the

queues you don’t have to worry about seeing 'nothing down the back' and

whilst stiletto heels aren’t recommended, The Electric Picnic promises to be

a whole lot more comfortable and accessible. You won't be stuck in four hour

traffic jams and you won't have to trek across 17 fields to get to you

car ……..Let alone find it! With special attention to festival fare there

will be plenty on offer with contributions from Nude and an eclectic variety

of tasty and healthy deli foods -sorting out the mosh pit from the

marinades.

The Electric Picnic will be served up across three stages, with a main

outdoor venue and two marquees. An entertaining aside for those sporting

music aficionados will be a tent equipped with a massive screen beaming the

Irish World Football Cup qualifier – live.

Tickets are priced at 59.50 Euro (incl booking fee) with plenty of public

transport to and from Dublin to the venue, and a direct coach service

between the site to and from Cork, Limerick, Waterford and Galway, plus easy

nearby parking.

What in the world is a boutique style festival?

Does that mean it's posh with cranky snobby sales-staff??

Not sure where people picked up the idea of it being in some way 'posh'.
A boutique style festival is generally a smaller (and cosier) festival with a quite distinct flavour across the acts... e.g the Big Chill, All Tomorrow's Parties, even Dedbeat. The advantages of a smaller crowd is that hopefully it removes all the negative things you associate with big festivals - massive queues and traffics jams, inedible food etc.
