Trailer Park is Electric Picnic’s world of graceful lunacy, established as the funny bone of Electric Picnic.
A mobile-tropolis of stunning visual creativity – and it’s about unchecked laughter, live music that lifts you to the sky, and a series of encounters with some of the most ridiculous installations anywhere in Ireland.
It is a haven of hilarious caravans and utilitarian mobile homes that have undergone surgery.
Live music comes from some of the titans of stage performance:
Kelly Anne Byrne; White Horse Guitar Club; Dublin Ukulele Collective; Scustin; Grooveline; New Brass Kings; David Kitt Dj Set; Post Punk Podge; The Luna Boys; The Pearly Whites; Luke Thomas And The Swing Cats; Code Of Behaviour; Shakalak Boolaboom; The Circus Ponies; The Lightrunners; Zoe Clarke; Darnell Cole & The Vibe; Fizzy Orange; The Last Apollo; and Dubh Lee.
Collectively, Trailer Park creates a metropolis of tiny venues, interactive cultural outposts, fun-clinics and oddball theatres and a series of encounters with some of the most ridiculous installations anywhere in Ireland.
Among those attending are:
Yonder, a psychedelic bus – peopled by the flotsam of the Summer’s festivals dedicated to side-stepping office work. An immersive school: drag for beginners, blindfold dentistry and lollipop-lady classes.
Gangsta Granny – A gaggle of razor-sharp ladies knit a coat for a caravan, and then keep on going.
Weather Karaoke – out with the old and tired format of song-and-music to the exhilarating new world of weather presenting.
Nun of That – will bring you back to the good auld days of Irish sex education where nun’s rule the school.
Lord Ganesh’s Larder – a highly decorated Indian bus serving chai and offering a view from its first-floor deck.
Terrible Terry presents – The EP Open 2024, a nine-hole golf course run by a rag tag group of crap golfers.
