Kraftwerk, the Godfathers of Electric Music, are set to play a very special date on the POD.ie’s “A Day in the Life” at the Luggala Estate, Co. Wicklow this September. Also playing will be Soulwax, Comtron, The Jimmy Cake, Dark
Room Notes, Boxcutter and D1 DJ’s.

Capacity will be limited to 4,999 and
with doors opening at 3pm people can enjoy the breathtaking scenery in this unique setting. Kick back and relax on beanbags, take part in tribal workshops and enjoy cocktails and organic food and chill out in the EP favourite Body and Soul area. This will be ‘the greenest event
in the world this year’ according to promoter John Reynolds with no cars or parking available. The ticket price for this one day event will include transport from Dublin city centre or a Park & Ride facility from Leopardstown Racecourse.

Kraftwerk headlined Electric Picnic 3 years ago and put on an amazing show, and it will be very interesting to see them in the unique setting of the Luggala estate which is situated between two mountains in Co. Wicklow. POD.ie are definitley cashing in on the Boutique festival vibe now evident in numerous summer festivals.

The name on the festival “A Day in the Life” comes from the story of Tara Brown, Brother of the estate’s resident and Guinness heir Gareth Brown. A Socialite and
enthusiast of London Counterculture, Tara was a good friend of the
Beatles. Paul McCartney met Tara for the first time in the same club
where he would eventually meet Linda. In 1966 at the age of 21, and
rumoured to be on mind expanding drugs at the time, Tara drove his
sports car at high speed through red lights in South Kensington,
smashing into a van and killing himself. It was this that inspired
John Lennon to write the lines “I heard the news today oh boy” and “he
blew his mind out in a car” from the Beatles song ‘A Day in the Life’.
Tara Brown is buried at Luggala,

Tickets go on sale at 9am Friday 18th July and are priced at e89.50 including Transport from Dublin City Centre
