Music fans are heading to Stradbally in Laois this weekend for the Electric Picnic.
Underworld, Grace Jones and The Coronas are among the top acts to take to the stage on the first night of the three day festival.
There is something for everyone at the festival. Traditional Irish music group Kíla will perform at An Pubbal Gaeilge in the MindField area. Mindfield will also host a book clinic by Children's Books Ireland for the first time and will feature Laureate na nÓg Eoin Colfer.
Over 48,000 picnickers are expected at the event.
RTÉ News met some of the concert goers setting up camp in Stradbally for the weekend. The festival also has a Global Green area where campers can donate their tents when the festival ends. Volunteer Róisín Garvey says they are looking for good-quality four-man tents or bigger.
