The first of the general Electric Picnic tickets went on sale on Wednesday morning at 9 am with some already sold out.
The Electric Picnic organisers confirmed at 9.45 am that family camping passes were already all sold.
Melvyn Benn, EP CEO, confirmed that the 80,000 capacity for the event in Stradbally will remain unchanged for 2026. He also spoke about ticket sales at the 2025 EP press conference on the final day of this year's festival in Laois.
“I would expect most of the tickets to get snapped up, and then we will do a bit of a sale towards Christmas time or something like that," he said.

Electric Picnic takes place from August 27-30. Early entry passes are on sale from Thursday with more entertainment planned.
