Electric Picnic numbers set to grow beyond 60,000

As Electric Picnic 2019 drew to a close, festival organisers hailed the event as one of their most successful years to date and said there was room for Ireland’s largest music festival to grow further.

Speaking on the final day of the festival, Electric Picnic CEO Melvin Benn said this year’s record-breaking festival capacity of 60,000 could be expanded in future years, with this year’s addition of an entire new area called Freetown expanding the annual three-day event’s ability to cater to bigger crowds.
