Dara Ó Briain is officially hitting the lineup at Electric Picnic for the first time ever!
The beloved Irish comedian and presenter will be performing live in the Comedy Tent during festival weekend, 29–31 August, at Stradbally Hall in County Laois.
Dara’s long career—spanning Mock the Week, Robot Wars, Stargazing Live and iconic stand-up tours like Re:Creation—makes his debut at EP a highlight for comedy fans. Known for blending science, sharp wit, and hilarious storytelling, Dara is guaranteed to bring some next‑level laughs to the festival’s eight stages.

Set among a massive line-up that includes headline acts like Hozier, Sam Fender, Fatboy Slim, Chappell Roan, and Kings of Leon, Dara adds a big dose of humour to the music, arts and culture punch of EP 2025. With over 80,000 festival-goers expected across the weekend, the Comedy Tent is shaping up as unmissable.
Dara’s latest tour, Re:Creation, has already sold out theatres across Ireland and the UK and is set to run into 2026. But watching him riff live in a festival setting—with the Picnic vibes in full swing—is a treat fans haven’t had before. Time for laughs in the fields!
