Unvaccinated festival-goers won't be allowed attend Electric Picnic under new proposals

Under the proposals, those who have had a single vaccination would be tested on entry, while those who are not vaccinated would be refused entry.

Electric Picnic’s organisers have outlined how Ireland’s biggest festival could go ahead at full-capacity in September, with no entry for those without at least one Covid jab.

In a letter addressed to a number of ministers and advisors including the Taoiseach, Tánaiste and Minister for Arts Catherine Martin, promoters Festival Republic and MCD have asked that the event be allowed to proceed at full capacity, in line with protocols implemented at similar live events in the UK and US.
