Are you EP-ready? Whether you’re on your way to Stradbally or already settling in at your campsite, plan your day to make the most of this year’s Friday line-up. We have all the acts and stage times you’ll want to know below, from Main Stage headliner Hozier to Luvcat at the Electric Arena.
What’s the weather forecast?
Blustery southwest winds are expected on Friday, so check those tent pegs and rain flies. There will be frequent showers, some heavy and merging to longer spells of rain at times, so you may need to keep the wellies and raincoat handy. It will be a little cooler than recently, with highest temperatures of 17 to 19 degrees.
