Many missed out on tickets for 2026 despite being signed up to their loyalty scheme.
Many Electric Picnic regulars were left disappointed yesterday after not getting tickets.
A long running loyalty scheme didn't secure them a place at the festival.
The scheme allows people who have bought tickets previously to access a separate batch of tickets for a reduced price via a code.
Caitríona Redmond, Consumer Columnist with the Irish Examiner, explains what happened:
Festival organisers are expanding the Thursday night line up for 2026.
Early-entry festivalgoers will see one or two additional stages.
The event, which will take place from August 28-30, is keeping ticket prices steady, starting at €245.50.
Two headliners are already confirmed for 2026, following a this years festival, that saw over 80,000 people flock to Laois for performances from acts like Hozier and Kings of Leon.
Deirdre Crookes from LH Promotions says the demand for tickets is higher than ever:
