Electricpicnic

Electric Picnic is basically the end-of-summer party Ireland looks forward to all year. It’s a music and arts festival at Stradbally Hall in Co. Laois, and it runs from the 28th to the 30th of August 2026. They call it the ultimate rock n’ roll circus, which honestly tracks: it’s less a standard festival and more a full-on creative free-for-all. The lineup covers music, art, theatre, comedy, and food, plus a whole holistic health side if you need to balance out the chaos. There’s also a bunch of prebooked campsite options like Eco, Poets, Glitterball, and An Ghaeltacht, so you can pick your vibe before you even get there. Recent additions include Glow Depot, a new late-night city in the woods, and Fishtown is back for its 5th edition, so there’s clearly no shortage of weird and wonderful corners to explore. What makes it worth it is the sheer range. You can catch comedy, wander through Mindfield (which is celebrating its 20th year), or just see where the night takes you. It’s not tryin…
