The Irish Independent’s Ryan Nugent experiences his first-ever EP – and shares his highlights from a fun-filled weekend
The push alert came in on Friday night. High-strength pills were in circulation at Electric Picnic. Another warning arrived on Saturday night. Everyone knows drugs are rife at festivals, and the push notifications are just one of a number of preventative measures at EP, in conjunction with the HSE.
Another way of limiting drugs on site is the bag searches at the gate as you arrive. It didn’t take long with us, though.
