Michael Clifford: Electric Picnic must be saved for all our sakes 

Time is running out and we need to get some heavyweights on the job, pronto. Does anybody have Bono’s number?

Anybody who could use their clout to get the ball rolling? Because if something doesn’t happen fast, Electric Picnic is on a one-way ticket to Palookaville.

There are less than 30 days to save Electric Picnic. After that, we’re heading into October, and with the way the climate is acting up, winter will come dropping quickly, burying Stradbally under a blanket of snow before Halloween hovers into view. Wake up, people. Have you any idea what is at stake?

Our options are narrowing. We need to get some heavyweights on the job, pronto. Does anybody have Bono’s number? Maybe if he waved his arms, standing on the shore in Killiney, something might happen. Failing that he could do a ring around to world leaders, like Nancy Pelosi or Angela Merkel or one of the Kardashians.
