Picnic could be cancelled
Our beloved Picnic is in danger!
It may be cancelled as a result of an on going dispute between Irish Music Rights Organisation (IMRO) and POD concerts. The fight revolves around royalties going back 4 years for a number of concerts including the Electric Picnic. We are not talking a few quid here either, it’s more than €432,000.
According to the Irish Times if IMRO don’t get their dues they could apply to restrain future live events by POD, which would mean the Picnic could very soon end up on the chopping block! Mr Justice Kelly, who will sit in on the case has given Pod 7 days to lodge their defence and then 3 weeks leeway for the sides to see if they can settle out of court.
Come on guys my Summer Holiday was booked just for this………fix it, fix it FIX IT!
