Need we say more?

Kylie Minogue is taking to the stage on Sunday night, and good luck to you if you think you’re too cool to go see her.

We’ll be Spinning Around, as we Can’t Get Her Out of Our Heads, and moving Slow away from barrier.

You get the idea.

2. CMAT

Ireland’s own country music pop star CMAT will be lighting up Stradbally this weekend, and you’d wanna be there.

All of CMAT’s Irish shows to date have sold out (yes, even Fairview!), so do yourself a favour and check her out at EP. She’s a delight.

3. Ethel Cain

American singer-songwriter Ethel Cain has been busy on the festival circuit… and EP is her next stop.

Go for the ambient folk and stay for the crushing slowcore.

We’ve had Crush on repeat since 2021.

4. Sophie Ellis Bextor

It’s Murder on the Dancefloor… but you better not let Barry Keoghan run around a mansion with his willy out.

Sophie’s track may have had a resurgence in popularity since Saltburn hit screens, but the UK singer has a host of other bangers in her back catalogue, like Get Over You, Groovejet, and Take Me Home.

5. Lankum

Brothers Ian and Daragh Lynch, Cormac MacDiarmada, and Radie Peat wowed Glastonbury this year… So trust us when we say they’ll mesmerise the Irish crowd at EP this weekend.

A mix of Irish traditional music and electro beats, they’re a folk band with a twist, and will no doubt be one to remember this year.

6. Loreen

Not a one, but two time winner of Eurovision (Johnny Logan, she’s coming for you), Loreen is a force to be reckoned with.

Belting out Euphoria in the middle of a field a few cans in? Dream scenario.

7. KNEECAP

Their movie has just landed in cinemas and they’ve officially been selected as Ireland’s entry for next year’s Academy Awards – it’s safe to say Belfast hip hop trio KNEECAP are having a big year.

They’re also playing EP this weekend, so make sure you head down.
