Electric Picnic 2027 tickets will remain the same price as this year, with festival director Melvin Benn confirming there will be no increase for next summer.
Tickets for next year’s festival go on general sale on Friday 4th September, with the partner pre-sale beginning on Tuesday. Loyalty and general sale tickets will follow on Friday.
There will also be no increase in the festival’s capacity for 2027.
“There is no increase in capacity for next year or no increase in the ticket price next year,” Festival Director Melvin Benn said.

The announcement comes as Electric Picnic wraps up another sold-out weekend, with around 80,000 music fans descending on Stradbally, County Laois.
Lewis Capaldi, Gorillaz, Zara Larsson and Fontaines D.C. were among the biggest names on the main stages, with Fontaines D.C. closing the festival on Sunday night.
The weekend also featured a strong Irish presence, with acts including Amble and CMAT performing to huge crowds.

Benn described this year’s lineup as the “best lineup of any festival in Ireland” and said the number of Irish acts was a reflection of their growing popularity both at home and internationally.
“It has a very heavy Irish emphasis this year because that is appropriate - the Irish acts are dominating the UK and Ireland there’s no question about that, they’re getting out there to the USA and Europe,” he said.
He also insisted that Irish acts are not included simply because they are Irish.
“We don’t choose them just because they’re Irish, we choose them because they’re great.”

CMAT, who performed on Saturday, appeared to agree with the scale of the occasion, telling the crowd: “This is probably as good as it’s ever going to get for me, so give me a minute to soak it all in!”
The weekend also saw plenty of sunny spells at Stradbally, helping festival-goers make the most of the event and ensuring that any wet weather failed to dampen the atmosphere.
And there was a particularly special moment for Mayo supporters on Sunday.
The Saw Doctors brought the All-Ireland winning Mayo team onto the stage during their set, giving fans the chance to celebrate the county’s success with one of Mayo’s best-known bands.
Captain Jack Coyne was among 13 members of the victorious Mayo squad who took to the Main Stage during the Tuam band’s set, just over a month after the county ended a 75-year wait to lift the Sam Maguire Cup.
