Electric Picnic 2008

The 2008 festival was confirmed for August 29, 30, 31

Pre-Sale tickets went on sale on November 9, 2007 whilst the genuine tickets went sale on Friday March 28 2008 at 9 p.m.

Weekend tickets – there are no individual day ones – cost €240 including camping, with the various sites opening at 9 a.m. on Friday August 29. Camper van access cost €60. Also available are family tickets permitting entrance for two adults plus four children aged 12 and under. Otherwise it’s strictly over 18s with photo ID required.

The 2008 festival was thrown into jeopardy in June when the Irish Music Rights Organisation said Pod Concerts had no right to run the festival again. IMRO is seeking more that €432,000 from the promoter because of royalties allegedly not paid from a series of music festivals, including Love Box and Garden Party, over the past four years.  The organisers are making reassurances that the festival is in no doubt or jeopardy.
