The harmonious hub of music, movement and meditation returns to Stradbally with a programme that promises an escape from the madness and mud.

Croí, the “pulsing source” of positive energy and joy at Electric Picnic’s Main Arena, have announced their 2024 programme, which includes live performances, Yin yoga sessions, wood-fired saunas and much more.

A dazzling line-up of Irish icons will take to the venue’s two stages. On the Main Stage, festival goers can catch performances by Paddy Keenan & Steve Cooney, Mary Coughlan, Niamh Regan, Wallis Bird, David Kitt, Daithí, Shiv, Mohammad Syfkhan and a slew of other exciting sets.

The Crescent Earth Stage will feature performances from such artists as SLOUCHO & The NPCs, EMA, Jet-Li and Ali Morris. The stage will also host a number of interactive sessions, from high-energy Brazilian Afro Dance classes to hula hooping and even techno-disco yoga.

See below for the full line-up.

By day, festival goers can discover an oasis of wellness, somatic movement and conscious connection where “stress melts away.” As dusk descends, people are invited to recharge with the good vibrations, whether that is chatting by the fire pit with friends or dancing the night away to some of the country’s top musicians.

Croí hosts a hamlet of other venues where connection and wellness are focal points, including Kinship & Touch, Realign, Intinn and Water & Warmth.

Kinship & Touch will host a variety of sessions focusing on relationships and connection, including a Sacred Love Couples ceremony, a career-cultivating workshop and Yin yoga.

Realign boasts an experiential programme where festival goers can “experience the healing power of sound practices, igniting breathwork and grounding cacao.” Visitors can start their day with some Chakra Awakening Yoga with Maura Rath and finish with an Electric Energy Masterclass with Aoife Smith.

Intinn offers a carefully-crafted programme designed to support mindful living and provides the opportunity to replenish frequenters’ stores with Celtic Sound Healing, Sister Healing Circles and Resilience Building Workshops.

Nestled away from the crowds is the sanctuary of Water and Warmth. Visitors can relax, reset and rejuvenate in the venue’s six wood-fired hot tubs, a large sauna and three cold dunk tanks. Bookings for Water and Warmth’s therapeutic treatments will be available soon, so keep your eyes peeled!
