The crowd the band attracted last year was record breaking.
The Wolfe Tones will make their main stage debut at Electric Picnic this weekend.
The band was given a slot on the largest stage at the festival, after a record-breaking crowd attended their performance at the Electric Arena tent last year.
They'll join artists like Noah Kahan, Calvin Harris and Kylie in Stradbally in Laois.
Bandmember Brian Warfield thinks the controversy surrounding the young audience at last year's show was unnecessary:
