Electric Picnic,Music Festival,Cancellation

Organisers of Electric Picnic have confirmed that the music festival will be going ahead, dispelling rumours of cancellation. Despite the lack of a line-up announcement and the presence of refugees on the festival grounds, the sold-out event is still scheduled to take place. Some ticket holders are expressing disappointment over the delay in artist announcements.

Social media rumours that Electric Picnic is cancelled have been squashed as organisers have confirmed that it will be going ahead.

In previous years the line-up was released in March and last year a full line-up wasn’t announced until late April. However, in December 2022, 10 months before its 2023 festival, 10 artists were announced including headliners Billie Eilish and Fred Again.With the festival taking place two weeks earlier than usual on the third weekend of August, some ticket holders are disappointed that no artists have yet been announced.

Stradbally is currently the biggest of five Designated Accommodation Centres in Ireland that provides 90 days of accommodation for new arrivals from Ukraine. It has a maximum capacity of 950 people in its “winter-ready accommodation” and has been taking in refugees since last December.
