The Manchester band Elbow will take to the stage over the weekend along with acts such as Duran Duran and Hudson Taylor.

The festival which is completely sold out will take place at Stradbally Hall in Co Laois and since 2004, the festival's popularity has increased year after year.

French indie-rock stars Phoenix, electro-pop mastermind Mura Masa and Belfast boys Bicep will also bring their live shows to EP.
