For three days, festivalgoers flocked to the fields of Co Laois to for music, culture and craic.

Highlights included the Wolfe Tones performing on the Main Stage to a huge crowd, returning to Electric Picnic after their record-breaking performance in Electric Arena in 2023

It was the biggest edition of festival so far, with 75,000 people in Stradbally for the weekend.

Over the course of the festival, promoter Melvin Benn said there may be room to expand the Electric Picnic beyond its current capacity of 75,000 people.

Mr Benn said there is clearly demand for more tickets, with this year’s event in Stradbally, Co Laois selling out quickly despite an increase in capacity of 5,000 on the previous year. He ruled out the possibility of the festival ever reaching a capacity of 100,000.
