It'll cost you €200 to be a VIP at Electric Picnic

A new luxury lounge has been added to Electric Picnic this year, offering the chance to experience life backstage if you dig a little deeper.

For an extra €200, picknickers can lounge in style all weekend, or lash out an extra €85 for one day of living like a VIP.

The Electric Picnic Lounge offers exclusive festival sanctuary just metres from Main Stage, with chilled out seating, fancier food, bar and toilets.

Mirroring the backstage artist area, it it nestled in front of Stradbally Hall.

As well as sumptuous wines, champagne, spirits, chilled beer and custom cocktails, ticket holders can enjoy the ultimate festival luxury... fresh flush vacuum toilets, kept sparkling clean throughout the weekend.

There is also a complimentary cloakroom, so no need to haul your coats around if the sun breaks out.

The Lounge offers respite, right in the heart of all the action in the Main Arena, with a plethora of hammocks, sofas, and bean bags and while you re-charge, you can do the same for your phone.
