No need to be smelly and dirty now.

Festivals are great craic and Electric Picnic is the big daddy of festivals here in Ireland. A full weekend of top class entertainment is always something to look forward to.

This year at Electric Picnic 2015, Surf will, for the first time, bring a giant laundrette to the party so you don’t have to be that smelly one that everyone is keen to stay well away from.

The Surf Laundry Club, a giant, specially-constructed area in the Jimi Hendrix campsite, will be the place to go to scrub up and make sure the weekend is spent looking and smelling fresh.

Anyone who washes their clothes will be given a jumpsuit while they wait, so they can jump around to the Surf DJs on the laundrette dance floor.

A unique set of interactive washing machines, seating area, and one or two yet-to-be revealed surprises, means that Picnic attendees have plenty of reasons to visit The Surf Laundry Club over the weekend.
