"This is Electric Picnic's biggest year yet, with 80,000 people having descended onto a field in Laois. It's an approximate increase of 5,000 people compared to 2024 and an increase of ten thousand in 2023."
"If the number of picnickers has grown, has the space stretched to accommodate them all? This year saw the reshaping of existing campsites on the map, and the introduction of new ones that required you to book in advance."
"Previously, only the eco-friendly zone had this stipulation."
Electric Picnic recorded 80,000 attendees in Laois, marking its largest turnout to date. Attendance rose by about 5,000 compared to 2024 and by 10,000 compared to 2023. Organizers reshaped existing campsites and added new campground areas on the site map. Several new campsites required advance booking, expanding prebooked access beyond the previously single eco-friendly zone. The increase in picnickers prompted adjustments to campsite layout and booking procedures to manage capacity. The combination of higher attendance and designated prebooked zones changed how camping space was allocated and accessed during the festival.
