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.

The new Poolside Changing Rooms will host MC Battles and live performances, while the new and improved Lobby will play host to B-Boys, B-Girls, Beatboxers and Breakdancers, bringing the bold throughout the weekend.

Such is the scale of The Bold mOTel’s expansion that the brand is on the hunt for 12 of the nation’s biggest messers to help take the party atmosphere to the next level.

The motel is giving festival hopefuls a chance to join the boldness by offering tickets to those who do the best phone interviews via its job hotline.
