Kylie Minogue, Calvin Harris and Noah Kahan have been announced as headliners for Electric Picnic.
The festival in Stradbally takes place earlier than usual this year, in mid-August instead of the first weekend in September.
Organisers say a "small number" of tickets have become available due to failed credit card payments, and like the line-up, they too are being released today.
Your #EP24 line-up has landed and we are thrilled to announce @NoahKahan, @CalvinHarris and @kylieminogue as your headliners! 🎶✨
Check out the 50+ incredible names that are due to hit our stage in August. We can’t wait to have you all back for another magical weekend ✨🎡… pic.twitter.com/GkC3GI2Bq1

A statement from Electric Picnic says: "As Calvin Harris, Noah Kahan and Kylie make their Electric Picnic debuts, your festival lineup includes top acts from around the globe like RAYE, Gerry Cinnamon, Peggy Gou, NAS, Faithless and Kasabian plus our own groundbreaking, internationally-acclaimed homegrown talent like Kodaline, Jazzy, Kneecap, The Scratch, Damien Dempsey - and the Wolfe Tones, who return to Electric Picnic to perform on the Main Stage following the record crowds at Electric Arena last year!
"With the revival of her smash hit ‘Murder on the Dancefloor’, Sophie Ellis-Bextor adds a sprinkle of disco pop magic to the weekend, while those looking to dance the night away can head to Terminus to catch Hannah Laing, Skin On Skin and more.
"Now in its 20th year, Electric Picnic captured the imagination of the country in 2004 as a one-day event and grew into Ireland’s largest and most loved music and arts festival with 75,000 festival-goers expected for the weekend in Stradbally, Co. Laois from 16 –18th August 2024.
"This year, the main stage at Electric Picnic will be connected to the grid and powered by renewable energy. This marks the first time a festival of its kind in the UK and Ireland will install mains power to reduce its carbon footprint."
Melvin Benn Festival Director says: "Electric Picnic is the slightly earlier jewel in the crown of the festival calendar this year of course and what a crown it is.
"A crown that 75,000 people get to wear and be part of and what a lineup they have to be part of. The Wolfe Tones returning was a must. The Scratch and The Waterboys are unmissable for me.
"Noah taking the world by storm and Calvin blowing our minds and then…. Kylie! What more can I say. The Picnic really is my joyous weekend."
