  "summary": "Electric Picnic 2027 has sold out before the line-up was announced, according to RTE News. Tickets for the festival, which will be held at Stradbally Hall in Co Laois from August 27 to 29, went on sale on Friday morning through the festival’s loyalty scheme and general sale. Festival director Melvin Benn stated that there will be no increase in ticket prices or capacity for the 2027 event, which will remain at 80,000 attendees. Despite not yet announcing the acts for the festival, the sell-out comes less than a week after 80,000 people attended this year’s Electric Picnic.",
