SUNSHINE, SUNSHINE!

Ooh la la! With an enthusiastic sun eager to greet you at Parc Jean-Drapeau, there were so many of you there last Sunday for the first Piknic of the summer to show it your love. You showed him your skin, threw your hands in the air and made offers to the sky in gratitude for this delicious journey. We’re already preparing to get the collective gathering underway once again for Piknic #2 (...)

Two of the summer’s most exciting music events are teaming up to bring even more beats to the people. This summer, Piknic Électronik will program its very own Zone Électronik stage at Parc Jean-Drapeau during the July 31 – August 1 Osheaga weekend.

This Sunday, we begin!

The sun’s out, the girl have brought out their summer clothes, and the Piknic team is chompin’ at the hedges and ready to fly out of the gates… what does it all mean? Well, if you haven’t already guessed it, Piknic Électronik is back for its eighth season this Sunday, May 23^rd!

For this first session, Elio Krass is waiting for you at 2pm to warm you up and shake you out of your sleep Sunday-morning slumber. Prolific DJ and producer Kevin Yost comes on board halfway through the afternoon to shake loose your stiff muscles, and finally Lucie Lebel and Jeff Fontaine come on deck to finish you off on a high note!

Good news! This year, fans of Piknic Electronik can once again bring their own wine or beer, if accompanied by an actual picnic.

Piknic Electronik has taken into account the comments of our many law-abiding Piknicers who’ve considered it unjust to be restricted because of the excesses of a few bad seeds. So, each visitor who shows up with an actual picnic can also bring wine or beer if the following formats: 750ml of wine (one bottle) OR the equivalent of 1.1 litres of beers (3 small cans of 355ml or 2 tall cans of 500ml, etc).

Happy Piknicing! Bon appetit! And we look forward to seeing you once again under the Calder on Sunday, May 23 for the launch of a new season!

From May 12th to 16th, Piknic Électronik is visiting Lyon for the PLAY IT WILD Apéro sonore, presented by Glaçound. Follow the adventures of Prune, Mariri and Q, our Piknic team delegates, invited by Nuits Sonores for the occasion. They'll be constantly updating the Facebook Piknic Électronik Fan page during the week, to give you a taste of this very special excursion on the Old Continent.

Anticipating the outcry following the April 28 announcement of our new alcohol policy applicable at the opening of the next Piknic Électronik season, it seemed appropriate to express ourselves in order to put things back into perspective.

It seems that our last newsletter irritated several people as much in tone as with its content. Of course, this was not our intention. That being said, when news is bad, the tone employed is rarely appreciated. If our announcement was poorly received or if the tone of the letter straight out hurt anyone, we sincerely apologize.
