Electric Picnic stands as Ireland’s most eclectic celebration, where music, arts, and the rock ‘n’ roll spirit unite under the August sky. From the 13th to the 18th of August, the festival welcomes thousands to its sold-out grounds, promising an unrivalled end-of-summer bash. Volunteers are invited to be the opening act of this grand performance, setting the stage as part of the Welcome Team.

Volunteering at Electric Picnic isn’t just about lending a hand; it’s a backstage pass to the best the festival has to offer. In exchange for their friendly greetings and helpful guidance, volunteers gain free entry and the comfort of a private camping compound exclusive to the team—a small village within the festival’s lively town.

The Electric Picnic lineup is a crescendo of headliners with stars like Billie Eilish, The Killers, and Fred Again ensuring the air vibrates with electrifying performances. But it’s more than just a music festival. It’s a kaleidoscope of artistry, from avant-garde installations to laughter-filled comedy tents, and from the rejuvenating holistic health spaces to the culinary adventures at the food stalls.

This year, the festival seeks volunteers with radiant smiles and a readiness for fun to man the entrances. This customer-facing role is perfect for those with a warm demeanor who want to be part of the festival’s buzzing atmosphere. Volunteers will contribute on the days leading up to the event, ensuring every attendee is welcomed with open arms. In return, Saturday and Sunday are theirs to revel in the festivities, given they fulfil their allocated shifts.

The role is simple: help others, and then help yourself to the festival experience—absorb the music, embrace the art, and taste the delights.

As the summer draws to a close, the Electric Picnic is the ultimate curtain call. Don’t just attend the festival—become a part of it. Volunteer with us and let the final summer days echo with the joy of giving and the thrill of the picnic!
