Ahead of Electric Picnic 2025 – returning to Stradbally Hall in Co. Laois from August 29-31 – the festival has revealed details about new offerings and upgrades in the campsites, including new pre-booked camping options, at no extra cost to festival-goers.

As always, it will be first come first served for weekend ticket-holders who want to pitch their tent in the now-legendary Jimi Hendrix, Samuel Beckett, Andy Warhol, Ériu and Janis Joplin campsites.

But you can expect facilities in the festival’s campsites, including the accessible campsite, to be brought up a notch – with more showers, toilets and Get Ready With Me (GRWM) stations, which will include mirrors and plugs for straighteners and hairdryers.

Elsewhere, for those who like to plan ahead, there will be brand-new pre-booked options available at no extra cost.

Campers can register for these sites through Ticketmaster now, to ensure there’s sufficient space for their tent in their preferred campsite (note that this is not a reservation for a designated pitch).

Reservations are available now for the new Glitterball Campsite, Eco Campsite, Poets Camp, and An Gaeltacht Campsite.

Here's some information about each:

Glitterball:
'Espousing the overall ethos of Electric Picnic, inclusivity is at the heart of this village. This camp is supported by gender-inclusive teams who are dedicated to creating a safe and welcoming environment for all. You’ll be spending your weekend with some of Electric Picnic’s most fabulous citizens as your neighbours. There’ll be showers and toilets, and you can get your glam on in the GRWM station with mirrors, plugs for straighteners and dryers.'

Eco:
'This is the expanded (double the size) environmentally conscious Eco Camp with some new, special additions, including more showers and toilets. In a brand-new camping spot beside the woods which has more space for more people, you’ll find like-minded people here, all with the same goal in mind - leaving no trace. Get involved with sustainability workshops and hands-on activities throughout the weekend.'

Poets Camp:
'Redesignating Poets into an oasis of calm away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Picnic, with limited noise after 1am you’ll find yourself camped in a community of fellow bliss seekers. Here you can kick off your day at a gentle pace, with yoga and Pilates classes, meditation sessions and more to blow off all the cobwebs. You’ll be able to freshen up in peace too at the GRWM station with mirrors, plugs for straighteners and hair dryers, toilets and showers.'

An Gaeltacht:
'The Gaeltacht campsite returns once again to the Picnic and campers will have the opportunity to pitch their tents in the company of other Irish language speakers. Conradh naGaeilge have been organising this hugely successful campsite for the last number of years and are looking forward to welcoming Irish speakers back again. The Irish language will be the language spoken in this campsite as it provides festival goers with a unique space to use their Gaeilge throughout the weekend. We ask people to respect the language and to only book a space in the campsite if they plan to speak as Gaeilge in the campsite throughout the weekend.'

Access to these campsites will be via additional specific wristband only. Jimi Hendrix, Samuel Beckett, Andy Warhol, Ériu and Janis Joplin require no reservation.

Last week, the first five headline acts for the sold-out Electric Picnic 2025 were revealed – including Hozier, Chappell Roan, Kings of Leon, Fatboy Slim and Sam Fender.
