Stradbally Hall Estate, located in Stradbally, County Laois, Ireland, is not a traditional nightclub in the typical urban sense but rather a historic country estate famed for hosting large-scale music events, most notably the internationally renowned Electric Picnic music and arts festival. The estate itself dates back to the late 18th century and remains the home of the Cosby family. The lush parklands and sprawling woodlands have made it an idyllic and distinctive site for cultural gatherings and have contributed significantly to the local and national music scene.

Stradbally Hall’s transformation into a hub for contemporary nightlife and arts culture began in earnest with the inception of Electric Picnic in 2004. Since then, the estate has earned a reputation as Ireland’s leading festival venue, marrying the grandeur of historic architecture with the vibrancy of live music, art installations, and eclectic performances. Over the years, the venue has seen infrastructural enhancements to accommodate the growing crowds, with temporary stages, lighting, and camping facilities erected each year.

The estate's rustic charm and picturesque landscape remain a major draw, and the site has become a cultural landmark in Ireland, with many attendees viewing the annual pilgrimage as a rite of passage. Stradbally Hall Estate’s commitment to sustainability, creative expression, and community engagement has only enhanced its appeal and cemented its place in the Irish cultural consciousness. Notable artists who have performed at Stradbally Hall Estate, particularly as part of Electric Picnic, include international acts such as Arcade Fire, Florence + The Machine, The Strokes, Kendrick Lamar, Massive Attack, The Prodigy, LCD Soundsystem, and Björk.

The estate has also been a platform for celebrated Irish artists including Hozier, The Frames, Villagers, Snow Patrol, and Dermot Kennedy, alongside countless emerging talents from the vibrant Irish music scene.
