Could you be the next ‘head of inflatables’ or ‘Chief Cocktail Technician’ at this year’s Electric Picnic?
As the festival of the year approaches the rush to get your hands on one of those sold-out Electric Picnic tickets increase ten-fold.
Well, if you fancy yourself a bit of a Pint Administration Specialist or a Lead Dance Battle Strategist you may be in with a chance.
Today, Orchard Thieves announced that The Bold Motel will return to Electric Picnic - bigger and bolder than last year.
You may remember their Bold Motel from previous years as not a place to rest your head as the reception, bedroom and swimming pool are not what you’d expect.
