Electric Picnic is wrapping up for another year after a weekend of music and arts in the forests and fields of Stradbally, Co Laois.

Kylie Minogue is due to take the stage on Sunday night to close out the festival.

Noah Kahan kicked things off as the Friday night headliner – after which he declared Ireland his “second home”.

Saturday night saw DJ and producer Calvin Harris perform many of his chart-topping hits.

As some 75,000 festival-goers enjoyed the final day of the festival on Sunday, The Wolfe Tones took to the main stage, returning to Electric Picnic after their record-breaking performance in Electric Arena in 2023.

Other highlights on Sunday included CMAT, Damien Dempsey, Peggy Gou and Raye. Hannah Laing closed out the Terminus Stage while Hermitage Green gave a rousing sendoff to Rankin’s Wood.

Festival director Melvin Benn said he expects there will be demand for an expansion of the festival’s capacity next year.

“I’ll certainly talk to the council about whether there’s room for a bit more if there’s demand, I think there will be demand,” he told reporters on Sunday.

Here are some photo highlights of this year’s Electric Picnic festival.
