Mother are hosting their own late-night area at Electric Picnic
Dublin’s long-running Mother club has been announced to host a late-night queer dance party in the woods of Stradbally at Electric Picnic this year.
Each night in the woods, the queer club that normally operates out of Lost Lane will be heading to EP for After Dark from 9pm to 4am.
DJs include Mother DJs Rocky T Delgado, Ruth Kavanagh and Ghostboy along with guests, Billy Scurry, Claire Beck, MiniKimono, Tara Kumar & Mango.
There will also be cast of queer performers, dancers and drag queens including Pixie Woo, Anziety, Shaqira Knightly, Annie Queeries and many more across the weekend.
Mother will be creating an unashamedly queer space at Ireland’s largest music and arts festival. This ain’t no picnic. It’s a queer dance party.
“We’re very excited to be launching a Mother stage at Electric Picnic. The Mother DJs have been appearing and performing across various stages at the festival for over a decade, and we can’t wait to open a dedicated queer dance space in the infamous woods in Stradbally.
Cormac Cashman, Mother promoter.
