Over the course of the festival, promoter Melvin Benn said there may be room to expand the Electric Picnic beyond its current capacity of 75,000 people.

Mr Benn said there is clearly demand for more tickets, with this year’s event selling out quickly despite an increase in capacity of 5,000 on the previous year. He ruled out the possibility of the festival ever reaching a capacity of 100,000.
