ELECTRIC PICNIC TICKETS went on sale at 9am morning, less than a week after the sold-out 2025 festival, and ended up selling out in around 90 minutes. 

The Co Laois festival will take place next year from Friday 28 August to Sunday, 30 August.

Ticket prices for next year’s festival are the same as they were for this year’s event.

That means a weekend camping ticket will range from €245.50 to €325.50.

Festival promoter Melvin Benn had told reporters on Sunday that he expects tickets will get “snapped up fairly quickly” and family tickets sold out within an hour.

The festival then announced that all the tickets had sold out in around 90 minutes. 

A pre-sale took place on Monday and Electric Picnic said tickets were “sold out in a flash”.

But while all the tickets have been snapped up, Benn told reporters last week that there will also be a “bit of a sale towards Christmas time”.

He also revealed that headline performers have already been signed up for two of the three nights of next year’s festival.

Benn also said he is planning on putting on more entertainment for festival-goers who arrive early on the Thursday.

“I’ll certainly put more into the Thursday evenings entertainment next year,” said Benn.

“Not with the opening of the main stages or anything like that, but there will be one or two more stages open on the Thursday evening next year for definite.”

And while attendance was expanded to 80,000 this year, it won’t increase further next year, despite Benn remarking that the “appetite is definitely there”. 

This year’s event saw massive crowds attend Kneecap, a first Irish festival performance by Chappell Roan, and a cancelled “secret” Fatboy Slim set because too many people had found out about it.
