Don't forget, it's a carnival, too
At this stage, the Electric Picnic has essentially grown into its own mini carnival Between the music sets, get out there and ride the rides, get some festival food
The surrounding area is a must do
The festival is held at Stradbelly Hall
It's not just music
While music is one of the big draws at Electric Picnic, the art tents, small performance spaces, decorated pathways and public installations really are in a class of their own. Make sure to avail yourself of all the art and eclectic ephemera scattered about the grounds before you leave.
Irish Rail
Stradbelly Hall is located near the town of Portalaise, which is a little over an hour's drive from Dublin and two hours from Cork, the two main air ports of entry in the country. You can get to Portalaise easily via Irish Rail
