Trailer Park lineup announced for Electric Picnic 2022

Gary Ibbotson 09 Aug 2022

Electric Picnic organisers have announced the lineup for the “graceful lunacy” that is the Trailer Park.

Made up of “a haven of hilarious caravans, utilitarian mobile homes that have undergone surgery, vans re-functioned, campers converted.

“Collectively they create a metropolis of tiny venues, interactive cultural outposts, fun-clinics and oddball theatres.

“It is anchored by the Mobile Home Stage, quite literally a stage set in the form of a ‘static’ complete with bedroom, kitchen, lavatory and lounge.”

Some of the acts set to grace the wild and wacky Trailer Park are JYellowL, Scribes, Cooks But We’re Chefs, and Interskalactic

“Now established as the place to go to truly experience the soul of Electric Picnic, Trailer Park is mobile-tropolis of stunning visual creativity – and it’s about unchecked laughter, live music that lifts you to the sky, and series of encounters with some of the most ridiculous installations anywhere in Ireland. These include:

Nun of That will bring you back to the good auld days of Irish sex education where nun’s rule the school.

Come to your Census will set the alarms in the Office of Data Protection.

The Vaniel O’Donnell Experience will thrill hardened cynics with something for everyone.

Escape the Movies will lock guests in their caravan, with a list of riddles to get out.

The Snug will invite participants to dress up in old shawls and paddy caps, with pipes and newspapers.

Caravan Mambo is a live DJ set in a caravan, inspired by the Ibiza music scene.

Rocket is a wonky-looking shuttle, made with ‘only the best materials’, offering space travel

Seagulls will steal your chips and your discarded crap and make an unsavoury nest in the middle of everything.

Troll under the Sea is an underwater caravan that will bring you into the deep, for a little eco talk.

Terrible Terry presents The EP Open 2022, a nine hole golf course run by a rag tag group of crap golfers.

Caravanaoke will cram you all in, give you a song, and ensure chaos ensues.

Blindfold Maze will take place inside a caravan, disoriented, blindfolded and deprived of hearing.

Quizivan returns with it’s infamous and glamorous TV quiz

Ceili Kitchen where ‘out the back’ trad is in full swing.

Car + Van is a Frankenstein sculpture of Mini and Monza
