Could you get involved?
A brilliant section is returning to Electric Picnic as Orchard Thieves announces their Bold Motel for the Stradbally festival again this year. Last year it was the place to be with a brilliant set up and lots of great tunes.
Swing by the dance floor swimming pool (don’t worry there isn’t any water) or sit out on the sun loungers. There’s also an open air poolside changing room, complete with lockable lockers so a few lucky festivalgoers who will get to party hands-free.
This year, they appear to have stepped it up a notch and have an added element – they’re looking for helpers.
They’re inviting the public to call their dedicated job hotline (1800 232653 between 6pm-9pm on August 22nd) and interview for some of the wacky roles they have on offer over EP weekend. The best interviewees will land themselves tickets to the festival.
