Could Staying In Your Tent In Electric Picnic Long After The Festival Is Over Be The Solution To Ireland’s Rental Crisis?

BY NOW, if you’ve been in attendance at this year’s Electric Picnic, you’re hanging out your own hoop upside down and backwards.

The thoughts of traipsing back to your current living circumstances whether it be over-priced rented accommodation, a mate’s couch, or the cramped box room in your family home has you screaming internally.

Maybe it’s the Tesco brand cider you used as makeshift toothpaste last night speaking but perhaps losing your shirt on rent isn’t the right thing for you anymore and there’s a real, tangible solution.

Nature, a nice midlands breeze, ample room, free until you’re forcibly removed. The more you contemplate it, the more it makes sense. The expensive rat run of… everywhere in Ireland could be a thing of the past if you take up field life!

What are organisers going to do? Get security to rough you up and kick you off site? Maybe but if you dig in get a few extra days in the field, that’s money you’re not spending on rent!

And if you persuade enough of your new lifelong friends to do the same (not the guy who pissed on your tent and tried to set it on fire, fuck that guy), they won’t even need drugs to hallucinate a new progressive society which solves the land question once and for all!

Plus, the queues for an oak milk latte here are much shorter than at your local cafe and the portaloos here clog a lot less and smell better than the toilet back in your flat share.
