Electric Picnic
A weekend built around live music, camping and discoveries between stages. Electric Picnic turns the grounds of Stradbally Hall into a festival town, so the journey and the campsite matter almost as much as the headline acts.
27 to 29 August 2027
The 2027 weekend is announced. Treat campsite upgrades and early-entry passes as separate purchases: neither replaces a festival admission ticket.

Plan around a few performances you really want to see and leave gaps between them. A large camping festival rewards that flexibility: getting from a tent to a stage, meeting friends and finding food all take time. The festival information hub separates arena, camping, family and access information, which makes it a useful starting point for choosing the right kind of weekend.

Tickets, camping and early entry
The ticket listings distinguish weekend admission, family camping and campervan products. The 2027 early-entry pass is dated 26 August and explicitly excludes the event ticket. Before comparing prices, check exactly which admission and camping rights a product includes. Boutique accommodation is a different purchase from the weekend itself, and a booking page does not guarantee that a ticket remains available.

Plan the arrival as well as the return
Aim for Stradbally Hall in County Laois and follow the festival travel instructions for your ticket type. Save your ticket and the relevant campsite map before setting off. For a weekend stay, decide how you will carry your equipment from the arrival point and how you will get home after the final night.
