There has been speculation that the change would be permanent.

Electric Picnic's new mid-August date is for one year only.

The three-day festival in Stradbally will take place two weeks earlier in 2024, from August 16th to 18th, in a bid to accommodate specific artists.

Deputy News Editor with the Irish Farmers Journal, Barry Murphy, says EP will return to its usually scheduled date of September in 2025:
