Amnesty International and the Ireland-Palestine Solidarity Campaign (IPSC) utilized Ireland's Electric Picnic festival as a stage to rally support for Palestine. The IPSC organized a walk through the Electric Picnic Arena, which received "massive solidarity" from spectators. IPSC shared photos of the event on X, using the hashtags #FreePalestine and #StopTheGame.
Additionally, IPSC is advocating for support for the Palestinian cause during the Irish Life Dublin Marathon 2026, scheduled for October 25th. Amnesty International is also campaigning against Irish financial ties to Israel's Gaza genocide, urging the Central Bank of Ireland to halt the sale of Israeli bonds within the European Union. Furthermore, Amnesty is pressing for the release of Palestinian pediatrician Dr. Hussam Abu Safia, who has been held captive by Israel for 600 days.
Notable personalities such as Game of Thrones actor Liam Cunningham and Irish flotilla participant Mikey Cullen participated in a discussion on Gaza, held on the festival's Manifesto stage. The 60-minute "Gaza Flotilla" conversation took place under the MindField program, which features political and cultural dialogues. IPSC expressed gratitude to Global Green for their support at the Electric Picnic event.
