Electric Picnic Bans Disposable Vapes

Saturday, 26 August 2023 at 12:50

By Ross Lindsay

Festival goers warned they may be confiscated.

The organisers of Electric Picnic have banned disposable vapes from this year's festival.

They say they are banning the products "in order to protect the land that the festival site is on", since they are so hard to recycle and can becomes hazardous at waste centres.

Disposable vapes have been added to the list of prohibited items, and festival goers are warned they may be confiscated on entry.

The annual arts-and-music festival has been staged in Stradbally since 2004.
