FESTIVAL ESSENTIALS

When it comes to picking up all your vital festival bits, Aldi is the top choice among savvy Picnickers.

In addition to quality snacks and groceries at amazing prices, the supermarket is also home to unique and exciting Specialbuy products – covering everything from DIY equipment and garden furniture to kitchenware and beauty items. And if your summer plans revolve around weekends of music, friends and fun in a field, you definitely don’t want to miss Aldi’s upcoming Specialbuy launch: Festival Essentials.

In stores from May 23, this special range will feature everything you need to make Electric Picnic 2024 one for the books – including handy additions to your festival packing list.

For the campsite, these festival Specialbuys will include tents, stools, inflatable ottomans, airbeds, and pillows – as well as festival trolleys to help you lug your gear to your perfect spot. There are also plenty of goodies to make festival life that little bit more convenient, such as collapsible cooler bags, powerbanks, and travel bottles – plus hygiene must-haves like natural deodorants and facial sprays. With fashion items also available, Aldi will truly have you kitted out in style this festival season.

ALDI AT ELECTRIC PICNIC

As the official supermarket partner of Electric Picnic, Aldi will have a special presence at the festival once again this year. Aldi’s pop-up store will be returning to the campsite, allowing you to pop in and pick up all your essentials across the weekend, from sweet treats to toiletries, as well as festival Specialbuys. There’s always one person in the group who arrives at the festival nearly empty-handed – but don’t worry, Aldi have got even your most forgetful friends covered!

There’ll be even more activities and surprises to look forward to from Aldi as we all gear up for the big weekend. And you never know – DJ Kev, better known as Kevin the Carrot, might even make a special appearance behind the decks…

Until then, you can count on Aldi to keep bringing you all the products you love, including fresh seasonal flavours and fantastic Specialbuys, at wonderfully low prices. Just don’t forget to upload those receipts to be in with a chance of winning big!
