Electric Picnic tickets sold out at record speed as headliners announced today

Electric Picnic today announced its headliners for 2017, featuring the likes of The xx, A Tribe Called Quest and Duran Duran.

Electric Picnic completely sold out prior to revealing it's acts for September 2017, with not a single ticket left to sell. In its 13 year history, the festival has never sold out ahead of the line-up release and so far in advance of the festival weekend.

With just 151 days to go until Stradbally Hall opens its gates to welcome 55,000 guests, a limited number of tickets for 3 Mobile customers went on sale this morning, but were snapped up within minutes.

Once again, the issue of secondary ticket selling has reared his head with this event. Weekend camping tickets, which would have gone on sale for €240, are being sold for upwards of €499.
