The festival sold out in 2018, 2019 and 2021, and Groove Armada will be headlining the festival this year.
El Dorado features a wide range of dance music genres including house, disco, drum and bass, jungle and dubstep.
Also given headline billing for the festival are the Earth, Wind & Fire Experience featuring Al McKay.
Built around Earth, Wind & Fire guitarist McKay, the group will bring hits such as Boogie Wonderland, September and Shining Star to Eastnor.
Other acts include Kojey Radical, Wilkinson, Hybrid Minds, Skream, David Rodigan, Craig Charles, Shy FX, Midland and ABBA tribute band Bjorn Again.

The organisers of El Dorado Festival have pledged to plant a tree for every ticket sold.
Specifically, they are planting mangrove trees in Madagascar - helping to improve water quality, provide natural habitats for fish and remove carbon. Organisers say they planted 12,320 trees in 2021.
In 2018, Eastnor Castle issued an apology following a string of complaints about noise levels from the festival.
Some residents were unhappy that music could be heard three miles from the venue until the early hours of the morning.
A timetable of activity published on Ledbury Town Council’s website suggests live music will once again continue until 4am on both the Friday and Saturday of the festival.
