The organisers of Electric Picnic say this year's festival is now officially sold out.

Festival-goers snapped up tickets in record time - just under three months before the County Laois music and arts event.

Camping, weekend and Sunday day tickets have now all sold out.

Festival PR agent Lindsay Holmes says the high-profile headline acts are just one reason behind the sell-out:

The festival takes place between from the 4th until the 6th of September, at Stradbally  in Co Laois.

Alongside headliners Blur, Florence + The Machine and Sam Smith, other bands playing this year's festival include Grace Jones, Interpol, Manic Street Preachers, Belle and Sebastian, Future Islands and much more.

Organisers say there is still lots to be announced in advance of the festival.

Full details of the line-up so far can be found on the festival's website.
