As early entry ticketholders prepare to get on the road to Stradbally tomorrow, KCLR has a preview of the weekend ahead.

Who’s playing:

Lewis Capaldi, Sombr, Gorillaz, CMAT, Zara Larsson, Amble and Fontaines D.C. will headline the main stage.

For the dancers, acts like Duke Dumont, Ben Hemsley and Armand Van Helden will play sets across the Electric Arena and the Smirnoff Stage.

There’s plenty of Irish talent taking the stage as well – The Academic, The Scratch, Florence Road and Dart to name a few.

Getting there:

Festival attendees are advised to use only official event routing to get to the grounds. An Garda Síochána’s Official Traffic Management Plan has all routes covered and can be found here. 

The weather:

Met Éireann predict mixed weather across the weekend, with some heavier showers on Thursday evening and Sunday Afternoon. Highest temperatures of 21 degrees on Friday afternoon and lowest of 12 degrees on Sunday night.

The full forecast can be found here. 

Most important tips:

  • Dress appropriately for the weather.
  • Charge your power banks.
  • Wear comfortable shoes.
  • Bring plenty of waterproof clothes.
  • Plan your journey to and from the festival in advance.
  • Bring a reusable cup.
  • Bring earplugs for late at night (EP doesn’t sleep).
  • Have fun and stay safe!!

KCLR reporter Ailbhe Gavin joined Brian Redmond on this morning’s KCLR Daily to preview the weekend and share some advice:
