Marking the 20th anniversary of the festival, Noah Kahan kicked things off as the Friday night headliner – after which he declared Ireland his ‘second home’! Saturday night saw the incomparable Calvin Harris blast out banger after banger, drawing Picnickers in their droves to the Main Stage.
As some 75,000 festival-goers enjoyed the final day of the festival on Sunday, The Wolfe Tones took to the Main Stage, returning to Electric Picnic after their record-breaking performance in Electric Arena in 2023.
Other highlights on Sunday included CMAT, Damien Dempsey, Peggy Gou and Raye. Hannah Laing closed out the Terminus Stage while Hermitage Green gave a rousing sendoff to Rankin’s Wood.
Speaking to gathered press on Sunday afternoon, Festival Director Melvin Benn said he expects there will be a demand for an expansion of capacity next year.
"I'll certainly talk to the council about whether there's room for a bit more if there's demand, I think there will be demand. "But for the moment, I'm happy with where we are in that sense of it. I think the people that are here will have enjoyed it. "I doubt very many people will be saying they're not going to enjoy it, and not many people, won't want to be back next year. So I think the demand will be there."
Tickets for Electric Picnic 2025 will go on sale at 9am this coming Wednesday, August 21.
Electric Picnic 2025 will take place between August 29 and August 31.
