Electric Picnic make big surprise announcement linked to Cold Play
Electric Picnic has just surprised loyal fans with a big announcement and a change of time for the 2024 festival.
The festival organisers have just announced that loyalty early bird tickets for 2024 have gone on sale.
The sale has begun this Wednesday morning, August 23, a week ahead of the 2023 festival.
It is normally held just afterwards.
The loyalty registration closed on August 21 but many regular picknickers have not yet received their code to buy, according to comments on the post.
A second round of tickets will go on sale as part of the Early Bird offering after Electric Picnic 2023 on 8th – 30th September with both General Admission and Loyalty Scheme tickets.
There will be a final release of tickets on sale from 1st October.
Another big surprise is that the festival in 2024 will come some two weeks earlier than normal, here in its Laois home of Stradbally.
"Electric Picnic 2024 will take place from 16 – 18 August. EP24 Loyalty Early Bird Tickets are on sale now!" Electric Picnic say.
The time change could be due to the Coldplay circus rolling into Ireland. The band will play four gigs in Croke Park from August 29 to September 2.
