MCD festival to rival Electric Picnic
As revealed in the last issue of hotpress, MCD are poised to announce a rival “boutique festival” to the Electric Picnic.
While there’s been no official word from the Denis Desmond camp, it’s understood that the two-day Hi-Fi bash will take place at Belvedere House near Mullingar on August 5 and 6.
Located on the shores of Lough Ennell, the 18th century hunting and fishing lodge is surrounded by 160 acres of parkland and is already used for classical musical events.
Over 100 acts are expected to play on five-stages, with an “executive accommodation” area catering for motor homes.
Hi-Fi is one of the brand names devised by the UK’s Godskitchen organisation, which was recently bought by MCD and also runs the Global Gathering.
