Electric Picnic 2027

Ireland's largest music and arts festival, returning to Stradbally Hall in County Laois.

Electric Picnic is Ireland's largest gathering of music and arts, staged since 2004 in the grounds of Stradbally Hall in County Laois. The festival has grown from a boutique one-day event into one of the most distinctive festivals in Europe, often described as a rock and roll circus for the breadth of what it programmes.

Alongside the music the site carries theatre, comedy, visual art, food and holistic health areas, plus a series of long-running themed districts and villages that return and evolve each year - among them Fishtown, An Chollchoill, Croí and the family-focused Little Picnic. The result is a festival where the bill is only part of the reason people go.
