The festival is expected to attract approximately 55,000 punters this coming weekend.
The XX, A Tribe Called Quest, Pete Tong presents Ibiza Classics performed by the Heritage Orchestra, Duran Duran, Elbow, Chaka Khan, Phoenix and Interpol are among artists preparing to perform for this weekend.
Here's some of what you need to check out if you're Stradbally-estate-bound this weekend.
1. The Salty Dog Stage
Salty Dog, like Trenchtown, is an area full of weird and wonderful hidden gems, all mind-blowing and beautiful in their own right. Prepare to walk into what feels like a fantasy movie-set, which celebrates it's 10th year at the festival this year. Also expect a beardy cast of hags and growlers who'll be mending fishing nets, smoke fish, swig porter and pickpocket passers-by.
Fancy getting tooth pulled this weekend? The #SaltyDog area provides dentistry at the festival. #NotReally @electricpicnic pic.twitter.com/wbf6i3IzFY

2. Red Bull Soundome
Electric Picnic prides itself on provoking thought, and exactly that is evident in the Red Bull Soundome. Integrated into the hubs of a precision-engineered steel geodesic dome are 42 perfectly-calibrated speakers that deliver a complete ambisonic environment. Feel the sound move around the Soundome and deliver the kinetic force of sub woofers from beneath your feet. This is a whole-body sonic trip like no other.
If you're heading to @electricpicnic this weekend, well worth checking out the Sound Dome ? pic.twitter.com/7VBfmFUB1J

3. 3Disco
Karaoke lovers, rejoice! If you love disco, wild costumes and performance, this is one for you.
4. The Main Stage
As you know, aforementioned acts will take to the stage across the weekend. Tullamore's finest hip-hop trio Chasing Abbey will perform at the festival this weekend and performed on the Main Stage at the preview day. They caught up with iWork's Emma.

5. Trailer Park
If you need some ridiculousness in your life, you need to get yourself to Trailer Park across the weekend. It's a haven of caravans, horseboxes, mobile homes, shipping containers, and re-purposed vehicles full of magic.
Trailer Park is nearly ready! Three days to go. @EPfestival pic.twitter.com/kjXtXQ275x
