The story

Electric Picnic - Music and Arts Festival is a 3-day electronic, rock, arts, comedy, food, theatre festival at Stradbally Hall in Stradbally, Ireland. The August 2027 edition runs 27–29 Aug 2027.

Expect stages split between Electronic, Rock, Arts, Comedy, Food and Theatre.

Everything happens at Stradbally Hall, in Stradbally. Stradbally is the base for the trip: it is where the affordable beds, the late trains and the after-parties are, and where prices climb fastest as the dates approach.

Electric Picnic - Music and Arts Festival keeps the same calendar slot each year: August 2027 for this edition, opening on a Friday and closing on a Sunday. It is a high-summer date, which is peak season for both travel and accommodation across the region. That slot matters for the budget — flights and rooms in Stradbally are priced for the festival weekend, not the week around it, so shifting your arrival by a day often saves more than any ticket tier does.

Planning the trip, step by step

1. 1Book the ticket first: tiers at Electric Picnic - Music and Arts Festival are sold in waves and the cheapest wave is gone long before the line-up is complete.
2. 2Then price the travel from Paris — Cinderella compares train, bus, car and flight for the same dates, and the cheapest option is not always the obvious one.
3. 3Reserve 4 nights rather than 3: the last night of a festival almost always ends after the last train home.
4. 4Follow Electric Picnic - Music and Arts Festival on Cinderella to be emailed when a ticket price drops or a new tier opens.
