Electric Picnic fully sold out back in December 2019 without an act even being confirmed.
Orgainsers announced an increase in the capacity of the event of 15,000 – from 55,000 last year to 70,000.
It means that the capacity of the Electric Picnic has more than doubled since 2013 when 32,000 people attended the festival.
While also back in December, it was announced that the days of meeting in the Body & Soul at Electric Picnic are over.
After 16 years, the people behind that area of the festival in Stradbally have announced that they are ending their association with Electric Picnic.
