Organisers confident that the festival can happen this year.

Electric Picnic is being moved to the final weekend of September instead of the first weekend of the month.

The festival will take place on September 24th to 26th in Stradbally, just west of Athy, as organisers say there's a much better chance of the event happening if they're given extra time to prepare.

They say given the vaccine rollout so far, they are confident that the festival can happen this year.

Anyone who cannot make it for new dates will get a full refund.

We’re delighted to share the news that Electric Picnic 2021 is moving to the 24th – 26th September 🎪🌳✨📆 pic.twitter.com/2Naa3TPe7y
