First Electric Picnic Stage Times Announced

Festival-goers, get ready! The first batch of stage times for this year's Electric Picnic have been announced so you can start planning the weekend ahead.

Hozier will take to the main stage at 10.30pm on Friday while fellow headliners The Strokes will kick off on Saturday at 11.30pm, preceded by The 1975 at 9.15pm. Also at the main, Florence And The Machine will commence their set at 10.30pm on Sunday.

Pop superstar of the moment – and our current Hot Press cover star – Billie Eilish, meanwhile, will hit the Main Stage at 7.30pm on Friday.

Because the Electric Picnic site is huge, it may take up to thirty minutes to walk from one stage to another. This is why it is recommended to check out times and places well in advance if you do not want to miss out on some of your favourites artists.
