Drug testing at festivals is a “terrific initiative” and will be rolled out again this summer, the boss of Electric Picnic has said.
Melvin Benn said that it’s up to the HSE where it intends to roll out these programmes and, while it won’t be in operation at the one-off Marlay Park gigs in Dublin this summer, it would be returning to the landmark Electric Picnic festival in September.
