The Electric Picnic main stage will be powered by renewable energy this year.
Image via Instagram/@epfestivalThe festival returns to Stradbally Hall in Laois on August 16th, 17th and 18th.
Organisers have applied for planning permission to build a substation, which will be connected to the grid, as it aims to become more sustainable.
It's the first time renewable power has been used at a festival in Ireland or even the UK.
Melvin Benn from Festival Republic said he wants it to set the bar "for the rest of the festival world".
