Electric Picnic: Trailer Park 2016

The line-up for the Electric Picnic Trailer Park has been announced. The artistic haven is the place to spend time if you want laughter during your EP weekend.

The Mobile Home Stage is the anchor of the futuristic retro-town – with performances from CC Brez, Cirque du Sol, The Young Folk, Emma Lou & The Agenda, Lethal Dialect, VOXX, The Luna Boys, Dylan Tighe and The Bloody Quills

One of the highlights of the entire Electric Picnic has to be the Father Ted endorsed Rubbish Song for Europe, in which musicians Neil Hannon and Cathy Davey complete their search for a replacement for My Lovely Horse, (Season 2 Episode 2).
On hand will be most of the clerical cast of the TV show, as well as Eurovision contestants The Swarbriggs as 15 finalists take to the stage with their compositions; as well as a number of famous comedians and musicians to whom pride is nothing more than a loaf of bread.
This all takes place in the now world-famous My Lovely Ranch area of Trailer Park, in which a small zoo of rescue animals - mostly sleepy old horses and forgetful donkeys and hairy canines – offer a soft landing for Picnickers in need of a hug and some reassurance. On the stage hewn of hay bales, surprise acts pop up (musicians from The Villagers, Bellx1, Divine Comedy last year), and a steady flow of comedians find themselves hoodwinked into doing a turn.
