Warm dry weather and sunny spells are expected this weekend as thousands descend in Laois for the country's largest music festival.

Billie Eilish, Niall Horan, Fred Again, The Academic, and the Killers are among the acts who will perform at the Electric Picnic festival this weekend, with festivalgoers advised to prepare for all possibilities despite the positive forecast.
