For the three-day event, about 75,000 people are anticipated to travel to Stradbally. The main attractions for this weekend's Electric Picnic are Kylie Minogue, Calvin Harris, and Noah Kahan.

Irish performers Lankum, Kodaline, and Kneecap are also scheduled to appear.

In 2004, the festival was established as a one-day affair. 10,000 people attended, with Groove Armada and 2 Many DJs serving as the main acts.

It has become one of the most important occasions in Ireland's music and cultural calendar during the last 20 years.

In order to minimise travel disruption, gardaí are advising festival attendees to take public transportation as tens of thousands of people hit the road.

Additionally, the police are recommending that drivers utilise its interactive map instead of Google Maps while making travel plans.

Weather-wise, Met Éireann is predicting a dry weekend with highs of 22C.

In order to accommodate one of the top performers this year, the event will be held two weeks sooner.
