Excitement is building ahead of the 2025 renewal of the festival.
‘Stradbally is the centre of the world this weekend’ - that’s according to Festival Director Melvin Benn.
Electric Picnic will not increase in size next year despite the huge demand for tickets.
This year’s event will see a record 80,000 festivalgoers descend on Stradbally for three days of music and arts.
He believes the current capacity is ideal for the grounds and for festivalgoers alike.

Chief Executive of An Coimisiún Toghcháin, Art O'Leary says it's vital people take up the right to vote:

Pace yourself if drinking alcohol... stay in touch with your friends... and be sure to sleep and recharge.
