Electric Picnic announce Fish Town lineup
We’re not done yet with different areas of Electric Picnic, after the final lineup of the main arena was announced on Friday.
Fish ⚓Town is the new area at Stradbally this year that expands on The Jerry Fish Electric Sideshow that has been curated by the musician for the last seven years.
Fish ⚓Town is a carnival town, steeped in the folklore of its proprietor and inspired by a love of theatrical tall tales, circus culture and amazing music. You’ll find this brand-new area nestled under a canopy of trees deep in the forest of Stradbally Estate. Anchored by The Jerry Fish Electric Sideshow Circus Tent, Picnickers will be treated to pop-up stages, a cafe, and The Heart & Anchor bar. See circus, cabaret, burlesque and sideshow performers, as well as the hottest musical acts around.

Curated, designed and built by performing artists for performing artists, the residents of Fish⚓Town aim to consciously promote positive news throughout the known world – our mantra: “Unity Through Diversity”. Everyone’s a VIP in Fish ⚓Town, you get the backstage experience in the woods out in front of the tent, a place where artists, fans and friends can meet up, talk about, and plot their Picnic adventures and experiences.
Fish ⚓ Town wouldn’t be complete without its dandy concoction of carnival sideshow theatre, so expect unearthly performances from: Sideshow Sweetheart Foxy P. Cox, pole-dancing and fire queen Terri Fierce, The Pony Girls, Jellyboy The Clown (Coney Island U.S.A.), Wobbly Circus, Dirty Circus and many more. The Jerry Fish Electric Sideshow promises once again to be a highlight of this year’s Picnic, delivering three debauched days and nights of mind-blowing, soul-bending entertainment, at this unique Picnic stage.
