Electric Picnic Boss Warns on Ketamine | Limerick News

Melvin Benn, mastermind of Electric Picnic, is sounding the alarm on ketamine, calling it dangerously horse-anesthetic and urging festival-goers to skip it for a pint of Guinness instead. Addiction experts confirm rising ketamine use, especially at festivals. Benn stands firm on his 18+ age policy, no plans to expand it or the 80,000-person cap, and the lineup won’t drop until tickets go on sale next Tuesday. He’s all about “hope” — for good weather and unforgettable fun — and even joked about sleeping “raw” on the floor, recalling his own festival rookie mistake. Safety, clarity, and joy are the pillars as Electric Picnic gears up for another wild ride. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
