The main stage, which features a rainbow-toned banner, has been erected, with additional touches currently being made to the supporting structures.
Westmeath band The Academic took to the stage for a trial run as they performed three songs for the press.
The group, who went to number one in Ireland with their 2018 debut Tales from the Backseat and 2023's Sitting Pretty, were also announced as a surprise addition to the festival line-up on the media day.
Disco act The Wagon Wobblers delivered a routine dressed as clowns by their minibus, which has been converted into a colourful disco stage.
The sold-out festival will also see performances by Paolo Nutini, Johnny Marr, Mimi Webb, Idles, Inhaler, Wet Leg, and many more over the weekend.
This year, the ArtLot area, which will host the alternative music and immersive art experiences across the festival weekend, will feature a new stage.
The festival has added a new section named Croí, which will be a "harmonious hub of wellness, somatic movement, and conscious connection" in the day and at night will transform into a gathering spot with a fire pit and music.
Festival-goers have been advised they cannot bring disposable vapes, drones, animals, and glass items over 100ml, among other things, to the site.
