What date is Electric Picnic 2022? Festival organisers tease lineup and announce when tickets go on sale

Electric Picnic has teased its lineup and announced when tickets will go on sale for this year's festival.

Electric Picnic takes place on Friday, September 24 until Sunday, September 26 at Stradbally Hall, Co Laois.

Festival organisers have announced that tickets will go on sale on Friday, March 11 and the lineup will be announced a day prior.

Ticketmaster is the official ticket agent for Electric Picnic tickets.

Electric Picnic is set to welcome back 70,000 music fans after two years away.

"After two very long years, we’re delighted to finally say that we’ll be announcing the Electric Picnic 2022 line up next Thursday 10th March, with tickets going on sale the following morning, 11th March at 11am," festival organisers wrote on social media.

In 2021, the festival asked Laois County Council to reverse the decision on the cancellation of Electric Picnic, but the event was called off for the second year in a row.

Those who held onto their tickets for the 2020 and 2021 editions of the festival, which were both cancelled, can use them for 2022.

Organisers of Electric Picnic were vocal in criticising the cancellation of the 2021 event, labelling it as "a major event in the lives of many of our young people, who as a group have been among the most affected by Covid".

Electric Picnic's last lineup in 2019 included Irish and international stars such as Hozier, Billie Eilish, The Strokes, The 1975, Kodaline and Years and Years.
