Ticket? Check. Tent? Check. Power bank? Check. Tipple? Non negotiable.
The group chats are frantic, the tents are coming out of storage and the national conversation has turned to one crucial question: what are you packing for Electric Picnic? *how many are going
From 28th - 30th August, Ireland’s biggest & most popular festival will bring 80,000 people to Stradbally Hall, Co. Laois. Lewis Capaldi, Gorillaz and Fontaines D.C. top the bill while away from the main stages, MindField celebrates its 20th year, Croí returns as the festival’s wellbeing heart, Fish Town promises all night mischief, and the brand new Glow Depot brings Irish club culture to the woods.
In other words, it is going to be a very big weekend with the potential to cause many a sore head. And while the wristband, waterproofs and portable charger are obvious, Irish hangover defence system Tipple is making the case for one more nonnegotiable, a bright yellow, pocket sized sachet that helps those of us keen to enjoy all the fun a campsite cocktail (or two) has to offer support their body while the fun is happening, rather than trying desperately to turn back time the morning after.
Created by Irish entrepreneurs Kevin Johnstone, Claire Ryan and Stephen Shannon after four years of research and development, Tipple is a science led, plant based hangover defence supplement taken while drinking alcohol. Its formula combines vitamins, minerals, electrolytes, probiotics and plant extracts to support the body’s natural defences and replenish key nutrients. Each sachet contains two capsules to take with water, following the directions on pack.
“Electric Picnic is the weekend everybody in Ireland talks about, whether they’re in Stradbally or following every headline, outfit and weather update from home,” says Tipple Co-founder Claire Ryan. “For the people going, the bag is packed down to the baby wipe, but the one thing you cannot replace is the next day. Tipple is my festival non negotiable. Put a few sachets in your bum bag and your future festival self will thank you. I literally could not attend without it!”
“Tipple is not about drinking more; it is about helping adults who choose to drink build a smarter habit into the night,” says Co founder Kevin Johnstone. “Electric Picnic is exactly why we wanted Tipple to be so portable. Nobody wants to miss a Sunday set, the drive home or their Monday because Saturday night caught up with them. Take Tipple tonight, feel fresh tomorrow and keep the weekend about the memories.”
Why Tipple Belongs in the Electric Picnic Bag
Proactive, not reactive: Designed to be taken while drinking, so its formula can support the body as alcohol is processed.
Pocket sized: Two capsules in a slim sachet that fits into a bum bag, jacket pocket or tiny festival handbag.
Nutrient support: Vitamins, minerals, electrolytes, probiotics and plant based ingredients help replenish what a long night can take out of you.
Plant based and vegan friendly: A smart, convenient option for festivalgoers who want a more considered night out.
Easy to find before the convoy leaves: Now stocked in more than 500 pharmacies and Holland & Barrett stores across Ireland, as well as online.
Tipple Has Already Had Its Stradbally Dress Rehearsal
In an unpaid review shared after a previous Electric Picnic, James Kavanagh said: “I care far more about my weekend Tipple supply than who I’m even going to see at EP. In my mid thirties I just cannot ‘power through’ anymore like I used too! Tipple always sees me though day two and day three feeling fabulous”
Fellow Picnicker Ashley Kehoe added: “Tipple saved my life all weekend! I was completely hangover free.”
So whether the plan is front row for Fontaines D.C., a late one in Fish Town or a detour to Glow Depot, make Tipple the first thing into the festival bag and the last thing forgotten at home.
Wellies may be weather dependent. Tipple is not.
