Electric Picnic 2025: Hot Press Chat Room Line-up Announced

See the acts confirmed for the Hot Press Chat Room below – with even more additions and surprises expected across the weekend...

Electric Picnic '25 is officially upon us, which means the Hot Press Chat Room is about to make its triumphant return to Stradbally Hall – featuring highly anticipated appearances from Orla Gartland, Bell X1, KhakiKid, Ispíní na hÉireann, The Academic, Junior Brother, Mundy, Fionn Regan, SexyTadhg, The Sleeveens, DELUSH, Madra Salach, Simple Things, MayKay, and more besides...

When it comes to unique, up-and-close-and-personal experiences at Electric Picnic, the Hot Press Chat Room has established itself an essential destination for music fans in the know. Located in the MindField area, the relatively intimate space has played host to Main Stage performers and rising stars alike – and this year, we’re back with another thrilling selection of acoustic sessions, live interviews and panel discussions, featuring some of the most buzzed-about artists and creatives in Ireland and beyond…

We’ll also be teaming up with Minding Creative Minds for a fascinating session featuring the brilliant Shobsy (expect some quality singing!), ace photographer Emily Quinn and Dave Reid of Minding Creative Minds – and we'll be talking all things sustainability in a panel titled Why We Must Not Fail On Our Climate Targets, featuring Professor Laurence Gill, Chair of Environmental Engineering at Trinity College Dublin, Shannen Healy (aka @_greengal in TikTok and Instagram) of Dublin City FM, Stephen Walsh, Senior Public Relations Specialist at Re-turn, who are active on the ground at EP all weekend, and singer-songwriter David Keenan, who'll also be performing!
