Where else could you get such a diverse array of people for one weekend?

In the Midfield at Electric Picnic of course.

In an era obsessed with artificial intelligence, Mindfield at Electric Picnic stands as a celebration of something far more powerful – Real Intelligence.

This year, the festival’s arena of ideas showcases the creativity, emotional intelligence and human connection that no machine can imitate.

Across six vibrant stages - Leviathan: Political Cabaret, Manifesto, Ah, Hear Podcast, The Theatre, The Word and An Puball Gaeilge - audiences will experience debate, music, poetry, protest, theatre, podcasts, comedy and culture in its purest, most human form.

This year’s programme is proof that creativity, connection and emotion remain our greatest technologies. No algorithms. Just Real Intelligence.

Highlights include Science Week presents: Dara Ó Briain and Blindboy talking ‘Then. Today. Tomorrow’ with Research Ireland’s Ruth Freeman; The David McWilliams Podcast; and Miriam O'Callaghan's Picnic Brunch; as well as Ballet Ireland and Irish National Opera. In Leviathan there's legendary music producer William Orbit in conversation with musician, author and BBC broadcaster Cerys Matthews.
