This year Conradh na Gaeilge’s Croí na Féile is set to bring the Irish language to centre stage with a mix of traditional music agus cultúr Gaelach with acts every night from 7pm to after midnight.

These acts will feature some DJs from Puzzy Wrangler, Aonad and Dabla, traditional music and folk from Coscán, Billow Wood, The Fógues and Sexy Tadgh.

Daytime will see winners of the Electric Youth competition showcase their talents in a range of genres from spoken word to vocal and instrumental pieces, performance art from Strive Theatre, music from accordion maestro Liam O’Connor plus much more.

"Conradh na Gaeilge are absolutely delighted to be back at Electric Picnic 2024 with a stellar line up sa Chollchoill / Hazelwood," said Orlaith Nic Ghearailt of Conradh na Gaeilge.

"Following on from their hugely successful EP performances in previous years it's great to have Sexy Tadhg back on stage on Friday as well as Bláithín Mhic Cána and Piaras Ó Lorcáin on Saturday.

"Huartan, a tradtronica band from Béal Feirste, will make their debut in the Collchoill on Sunday. This year we'll have DJs every night with a special set from Puzzy Wrangler on Saturday. From the Gaeltacht campsite to the Collchoill stage there will be plenty of opportunities for people to put Gaeilge ag Croí na Féile, at the heart of their festival, this year," she finished.

Once again, campers will have the opportunity to pitch their tents in the company of other Irish language speakers in the official Gaeltacht campsite, an Láthair Ghaeltachta. 

Organisers invites Picnickers to come and stay in the Gaeltacht campsite, where Irish will be the main spoken language, with "ceol, craic agus cannaí among Gaels" promised at the festival.

Croí na Féile is organised by Conradh na Gaeilge with the support of Foras na Gaeilge.
