The Irish language stage will be up and running once again.
A Gaeltacht Campsite has been announced for Electric Picnic this year.
An Láthair Ghaeltachta will have music, dancing and drag shows as Gaeilge.
An Chollchoill, the Irish language stage is set to reappear this year, with a variety of acts performing such as Shandrum Céilí Band, Ailbhe Ní Riain and Bandia.
Speaking about the festival, Orlaith Nic Ghearailt of Conradh na Gaeilge commented: "Electric Picnic is one of the biggest highlights on the annual musical calendar in Ireland, bringing together thousands of people to celebrate through music and culture. Festivals give us the opportunity to express ourselves in a unique way — and what is language but an expression of identity. In the Collchoill, below the trees and under the cover of moonlight, revellers can come and listen to the best of music over the weekend. From DJs to drag queens and from trad collectives to 80's groups, this year’s programme will bring festival-goers down through the woods to a stage full of beautiful music and exciting bands, with artists such as The Len Collective, the Shandrum Céilí Band and Bandia set to take the stage."
Paula Melvin, President of Conradh na Gaeilge said: "Conradh na Gaeilge, with the support of Foras na Gaeilge, has put the Irish language at the heart of Electric Picnic since 2018 and we look forward to bringing Croí na Féile back to Ireland’s biggest music festival this year. People will have the opportunity to use Irish at the festival by camping in the Gaeltacht campsite and by stopping by the Collchoill stage on all three nights."
