Electric Picnic has announced major changes to how camping will be done at the festival in 2025.
Four new campsites, which will be wristband only for entry, have been created.
The Eco Campsite, Glitterball, Poets Camp and An Gaeltacht will all be available for those with tents to pitch up.
In order to gain entry, you must get a ticket from Ticketmaster – but these are free of charge.
Jimi Hendrix, Samuel Beckett, Andy Warhol, Ériu and Janis Joplin campsites will remain as last year – automatic camping access for weekend ticket holder.
Organizers are promising that facilities in these will be improved with more showers, toilets and Get Ready With Me (GRWM) stations which will include mirrors and plugs for straighteners and hairdryers.
A spokesperson said: “There will be brand-new pre-booked options available at no extra cost.
“Campers can register for these sites via the Electric Picnic website/Ticketmaster to ensure there’s sufficient space for their tent in their preferred campsite – please note this is not a reservation for a designated pitch.
“These sites include the brand-new Glitterball Campsite added to the reformatted Poets Camp and the existing Eco and An Láthair Ghaeltachta – all designed to improve your Electric Picnic experience.
“Glitterball espouses 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.
“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.
“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.
“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.”
