This year, it promises not only to entertain but also to inspire, leading the charge in the live music sector's journey towards a greener future.
In an exciting development for both attendees and the planet, the main stage at Electric Picnic 2024 will be powered entirely by renewable energy. This groundbreaking initiative marks the festival as the first of its kind in the UK and Ireland to connect to the grid, reducing its carbon footprint significantly.

This ambitious move by Festival Republic, in collaboration with local landowners and energy providers, sets a new standard for sustainability in the festival circuit. The installation of a grid connection and the planning of a substation that blends with the local stonework demonstrate a deep commitment to the environment and the community of Stradbally and Laois. This initiative aligns with Festival Republic's Green Nation Charter, aiming for 100% renewable power by 2030 and a 50% reduction in carbon emissions associated with the festival.
