Here’s a look back at gorgeous day number 2 of #EP19 ☀️?✨??? #ElectricPicnic
Festival Director Melvin Benn reckons there's room for the festival to grow even bigger:
“There is room there for a lot more people, I am certainly going to look to accommodate more music fans who are desperate to be at the Picnic, when you look at Providencia there is part of the field that has space for growth.”
The festival is set to run for another decade. Melvin Benn added that:
“We have a contract with the Cosby family for ten more years. They seem to like us. They have literally the biggest acts in the world come and play in their front garden so they’re pretty happy.
"They have the best festival crowd in the world come and camp in their front garden so we’re in pretty good shape with them so essentially we have a rolling ten year contract.”
