Great market for tents on the canal these days
fair play
Not just teenagers apparently,but even folk with cars can’t be arsed.
Much like Tescos Christmas decorations, these articles are getting earlier every year.
The mess that is left behind at festivals every year in Ireland does not reflect well on us a culture.
Marketed as a “green” festival of course.

Electric Picnic leads the way yet again for sustainability within the live music sector with the announcement that the main stage at EP24 will be connected to the grid and powered by renewable energy. This marks the first time a festival of its kind in the UK and Ireland will install mains power to reduce its carbon footprint. This demonstrates Electric Picnic’s future commitment to Stradbally and Laois.
When were the refugees moved off site?
Electric picnic should set them up next year and charge for staying in them. Call it Electric FYRE.
good man – recycling
For some it’s festival season all year round.
I’m second hand embarrassed for any of you going lads.
Fair play to him, so many people couldn’t be arsed clearing up after them. Throwaway culture.
*this one weird trick, tent manufacturers hate him!*
I’ve had the same tent since 2016 or so. It’s been through EP’s, Glastonbury, and a good few camping trips. People are stupid if they’re not reusing their tents.
