Aldi is delighted to announce it has signed a new three-year deal with Electric Picnic to become the Official Supermarket Partner to Ireland’s premier music festival.
After three long years without festivals, Electric Picnic 2022 sold out in minutes and the #TeamAldiIreland are excited to join festival goers in Stradbally this year, for what is sure to be one of the best festivals yet.
So, what can you expect from Aldi at Electric Picnic?
The retailer will have a pop-up store with all of your festival essentials, located conveniently for festival campers and will remain open for festival attendees to shop throughout the three-day festival. Festival goers will be able to purchase breakfast foods, snacks, sweet treats, beauty items and sun cream to the all-important festival Specialbuys to fully kit out your camping area when you arrive. Items such as sleeping bags, festival pop-up tents and camping chairs will be available for those who leave their packing to the last minute! And don’t forget, camping can be enjoyed all year around, so Aldi and Electric Picnic is encouraging festival goers to bring home their tents and camping essentials after the festival to enjoy for years to come!
