Staging Co Laois festival from August 16th to 18th next year puts it ‘in the middle of harvest season’, says Irish Farmers’ Association
Electric Picnic 2023: Friday stage times for all the top areas, access map, weather forecast and more“The Electric Picnic has become a huge event and much hard work has gone in over the years to retain the support of the local community,” he said. “This changing of the dates came out of the blue and it is going to cause huge problems for local farmers.
“To date in 2023, we have already seen too many lives lost on our roads, with one in four being young people aged 16 to 25 years,” he said. “Slow down, don’t use a mobile phone while driving and remember, driving the morning after consuming drugs or alcohol will put you in danger. “A very simple safety message for those attending Electric Picnic this weekend is: don’t drink and drive, don’t take drugs and drive.”
Garda Chief Supt Anthony Lonergan, of the Laois Offaly Kildare Division said it is “our priority to ensure that all those who travel to and from Electric Picnic are not put at risk by the minority of drivers who drive while under the influence of an intoxicant”.
