John Reynolds’ Electric Picnic dispute was set for trial on May 13th after a hearing to fix the trial date.

The proceedings were reported on 7 February 2014. Festival Republic Dublin’s barrister said the festival had lost money while Reynolds was artistic director but made money after he was sidelined.

Reynolds rejected that account, claiming operating profits from 2005-11 and a €1.1 million loss in 2012 caused by increased artist-budget spending.
