Stradbally is preparing for another sell-out Electric Picnic as the festival has surprised fans with a line-up announcement.

Much differently to other years, the festival announced the first 10 acts in a surprise drop, instead of the usual announcement around March time.

Billie Eilish will headline the Friday, Lewis Capaldi and Fred Again.. will headline the Saturday, with Niall Horan, Steve Lacy, IDLES, Jamie xx, Tom Odell, Rick Astley, and Amyl & The Sniffers also announced. The remaining line-up is to be announced in the New Year.

2022 saw Electric Picnic return to Stradbally, welcoming 70,000 music fans hungry to experience Ireland’s biggest music and arts festival.

Picnickers enjoyed a redesigned site layout, brand new areas such as The Theatre, Fishtown and of course all the festival favourites like Mindfield, Salty Dog and Trailer Park.

Tickets for Electric Picnic 2023 are priced at €281 for Weekend Camping, Sunday Day tickets are €106 and Early Entry Passes for Thursday night are priced at €39.05. All ticket prices include booking fee.

The last remaining tickets for next year’s festival will go on sale at 10am, this Friday, December 9.
