Press day, spoofers, acts and experts - looking forward to Electric Picnic 2026

Alan Hartnett made his annual pilgrimage to the Junket of the Year on Tuesday - the press day at Electric Picnic. It's a day of seeing the site, meeting the festival director, free lunch and a goodie bag. It's always a great day out and he was joined by our camera man Paul Dargan once again. He joins Steven for a chat about some of the Electric Picnic changes, the acts he's looking forward to seeing, the characters you're likely to meet and planning the LaoisToday coverage of an event that never fails to disappoint. LaoisToday will be in the Ah Hear tent in Mindfield on Friday 4pm interviewing Colm Parkinson from the Smaller Fish Podcast. Free LaoisToday hats up for grabs
