Three Ireland returns to Electric Picnic this year and has announced a brand-new stage at the summer’s biggest festival.

Set within the woodlands of the festival site, the Three ‘Made by Music’ stage will showcase some of Ireland’s best rising talent, connecting fans to the future stars of Ireland’s flourishing music scene.

Charge and Chill

In addition to bringing a brand-new stage to Electric Picnic, Three is offering revellers the perfect place to ‘Charge and Chill’. Situated across from the main stage, music fans can relax and recharge their own batteries, as well as their phones, while exploring a range of different multisensory experiences.

The ‘charge and chill’ themed structure will feature a bespoke hanging garden, hammocks and a unique recharge room designed to help relax both mind and body across the weekend. DJs such as R.Kitt, Dreamcycles, Mel Keane, Nevan JIO and Jack Colleran will be behind the decks spinning chilled out tunes every day.

Three will once again partner with Lifesaver to provide a premium charging service, powered entirely by renewable energy. The pocket-sized power banks charged with 100% renewable energy offer an unlimited charging solution across the weekend. If the power runs out, customers can simply swap it for a full one. 3Charging stations will be situated in three locations at the festival to ensure everyone can stay powered up across the weekend.

The news comes as Three Ireland have launched two new music collaborations as part of their 'Made By Music' project. The first saw David Kitt, Kean Kavanagh and Fehdah team up for 'Follow The Sound', while the second saw Soule, Sorcha Richardson and Elaine Mai come together for 'Butterflies'. This follows on from last year, when Saint Sister, Jafaris and DJ Kormac came together for a reworking of Saint Sister track 'Causing Trouble'.

The full ‘Made by Music’ stage line up will be announced on August 22nd.
