Online pre-orders for our Electric Picnic Special Issue with cover star Hozier to close on Wednesday morning

To avoid disappointment – and guarantee that a copy of the highly sought-after new issue arrives at your doorstep – pre-order your copy below...

To all Hozier fans, Stradbally-bound festival-goers, and Irish music lovers – consider this your last call to pre-order the upcoming Electric Picnic Special Issue of Hot Press! We can now reveal that the final cut-off point for online pre-orders of the new issue – which features an extensive, 12-page Hozier cover story – is this Wednesday, August 13, at 9am (Irish time).

What makes this cover story so special? The questions were submitted by Hot Press readers and Hozier fans – meaning they came from people who love, and are fascinated by, the man and his extraordinary work.

The Co. Wicklow artist entered fully into the spirit of this unique Q&A – and he has delivered wonderfully thoughtful and detailed answers of the rarest, most special kind.

Coming ahead of his headlining appearance at Ireland's epic Electric Picnic festival, this really is the most powerful, intimate and revealing interview Hozier has ever done...

The feature will run over 12 pages in the upcoming issue of Hot Press, accompanied by gorgeous photographs taken on the road, in different locations around the world, by Ruth Medjber.

It really is a must-have magazine for all serious Hozier fans, no matter where they are located – and for everyone heading to Electric Picnic!

So don't miss out! Pre-ordering a copy online is by the far the best way to secure a copy of this highly sought-after issue – particularly for those living outside of Ireland. Irish fans are also encouraged to order online – as copies in local shops are expected to sell out fast...

Our exciting Electric Picnic Special also contains interviews with festival director Melvin Benn, and major acts on the line-up, including KNEECAP, For Those I Love, Orla Gartland, and NOFUN! (featuring The Edge’s son Levi Evans). In addition, you can look forward to contributions from KhakiKid, David Keenan, Dani Larkin and more – as well as the ultimate recommendations and previews from the HP festival team, as we prepare to return to the festival with the legendary Hot Press Chat Room...
