ArtLot to have newly designed stage at this year's Electric Picnic

ArtLot have announced a newly designed stage and exciting lineup for this year's Electric Picnic festival in Stradbally.

Created by Forja Works, the alternative visual arts and music area has been described as “combining the elegance of the Sydney Opera House with the charm of your grandad's greenhouse."

Festivalgoers can expect a lineup of alternative and emerging msic acts throughout the weekend.

Afterhours, the area suits those looking for something different than techno. Resident DJs of Granny’s Gaff, Sharpson and Hippybun are set to keep the party going with a “selection of nostalgic bangers”.

Rathaus, Dublin’s most prominent underground LGBTQ+ night, will also be taking charge of the decks.

There will also be walk-around performances from Acid Granny, The Bubblettes and the return of the Granny’s House installation. The Wine House, inspired by Soho’s Jazz After Dark club offers the chance for you to “indulge in late-night shenanigans alongside abstract expressionists, drifters, and aspiring poets.”

ArtLot began on a derelict site in Dublin city, holding its own open-air public exhibitions with a monthly programme of visual arts and performances.

When hotel developers moved in, ArtLot was rescued by Electric Picnic and given a permanent home in the woods of Stradbally Hall.
