Whether you're crashing a ceilidh or smashing stouts this Paddy's day - here're some perfect up-and-coming acts to soundtrack the day.
TRAMP
Fusing politically-fuelled punk with tongue-in-cheek wit, this Derry/Donegal outfit never fail to impress.
Cliffords
Cork rockers Cliffords have already been surrounded by critical acclaim. You can catch them at The Great Escape later in May to see what they're all about.
Esmeralda Road
FKA Moonboot, the band have come from winning the NI Music Prize for Best Song in 2023 and continue to deliver banger after banger.
YARD
Delivering raucous noise with a captivating edge, Dublin electro-punks YARD bring atmospheric hits that'll have you hooked.
Chubby Cat
Wonderfully authentic and undeniably captivating, electro-pop songstress Chubby Cat is a star who continues to rise.
Annie-Dog
For something completely different - the bittersweet, genre-defying ways of Annie-Dog never fail to grip our attention.
George Houston
Coming off the back of a huge tour with Paul Weller, George Houston continues to stun with cheeky anthems dispersed amongst yearning croons. Ever emotive and charming, this Donegal man has won our hearts.
KhakiKid
Tik Tok phenomenon KhakiKid continues to rise through the ranks with his infectiously slick patter. If you haven't heard of him already, we're sure you will soon.
Huartan
Mysterious masked Irish language outfit Huartan are fast gaining a reputation for their electric live shows. Combining pagan and folk imagery with anthemic dance tracks, the collective bring a fresh take on celebrating culture in the modern age.
Skinner
New York no-wave has hit Dublin in the form of the wonderful Skinner as he continues to deliver angst-fuelled eccentric anthems - and we couldn't be more excited about it.
