EP 2024 will take place as it usually does in Stradbally Hall, Co. Laois. There has however been some change and controversy with regards to what dates next year’s festivities will take place.
Organisers have decided to bring the festival forward to the weekend of Friday 16th to Sunday 18th of August 2024.

This plan has caused an uproar amongst the farming community, who claim that these dates fall during the peak of harvest season. They have called upon Electric Picnic to reschedule as the festival antics will create huge problems for local farmers.
Despite the commotion, the dates will remain the same for the foreseeable.
