Heading to Electric Picnic this weekend? Whether you’re on your way to Stradbally or already pitched up, here are Saturday’s acts, stage times and the expected weather.

What’s the weather forecast?

Be prepared for a “wet and windy” start to Saturday, with the risk of heavy downpours.

There is a possibility of spot flooding and scattered showers are set to develop in the afternoon as the rain clears. Unfortunately, this means there’s a high probability of a washout for Kneecap on Saturday afternoon on the main stage.

However, brighter spells are expected by Saturday evening with highs of 15 to 19 degrees.

Over 8000 people danced to Whigfield’s "Saturday Night" at Electric Picnic 2025, smashing the old Guinness record of 325 people set in the UK in 2017.
