First tickets for Electric Picnic 2020 sell out in less than an hour

The first tickets for Electric Picnic 2020 have sold out in less than an hour.

All Early Bird, Loyalty Tickets, Family Camping, Family Campervan and Campervan tickets have already been snapped up after they went on sale at 9am on Saturday.

However organisers confirmed any fans who missed out on this round of tickets will get another chance when the next batch is released, the date of which has not yet been confirmed.

A record-breaking 60,000 people attended the this year's edition of the Stradbally festival last weekend, headlined by huge acts including Florence + the Machine and Hozier.

And Electric Picnic Director Melvin Benn revealed he was surprised at the unprecedented demand for tickets released this morning, which were due to remain on sale until the end of the month.

He said: "Fans of Electric Picnic are a very loyal bunch and with it being a sold out festival this year, fans were even more eager than usual to snap up tickets.

"Ticket sales were due to end on 29th September but sold out before the deadline, as the Picnic continues to grow, so too does the number of loyal Picnickers that want to come back year after year."
