For those availing of Early Entry Passes to the festival, Thursday night at The Salty Dog has become one of the most raved-about parties at Electric Picnic.

"We invite all 4-day revellers – the unhygienists and the out-of-work – to join us this year for a spectacularly disastrous wedding ceremony," The Salty Dog team have stated. "10pm Thursday. Anyone who stays in their tents, campervans or back at their comfortable homes is a fool..."

Ahoy, ye festival scallywags!🦜🏴‍☠️ The Salty Dog returns to Electric Picnic! Step aboard the battered deck, freshly slapped with paint but still creaking under years of neglect ⚓ Open yer eyes, matey, and behold Salty’s TOP SECRET TREASURES! 🎶🤐
