The traditional friendliness of Electric Picnicers is alive and well at EP 17 in Stradbally.
Security has been beefed up in the wake of recent terror attacks around Europe and armed Gardaí are patrolling the site.
But organisers say their whole security brief also emphasised 'friendliness' in the campsites.
Melvin Benn, CEO of Festival Republic says this has been reflected in the spirit of their visitors.
