Last Week of August - Electric Picnic Week 2025

It's the end of the summer, the last weekend of August and that means one thing, Electric Picnic!

With 80,000 attendees or Picnickers, there has never been a edition of Ireland's largest music and arts festival.

This year sees headlining performances from Hozier on Friday, Sam Fender on Saturday and Kings of Leon on Sunday night.

And we will be there again covering this unique three days in the fields of County Laois. 

But with more than 50 acts playing the main stages and countless other events from cooking demonstations to yoga to raves in the woods, Electric Picnic will once again not be short of excitement and interest.

For me it will be good to see and photograph some class Irish acts such as Inhaler, headliner Hozier, Irish language rap trio Kneecap, Orla Gartland and more. Stage times below.

And of course I hope to see some of you there as well.
