ONES TO WATCH 2017

60+ Bands across 3 stages Thur 12th – Sun 15th January //////////// Whelan’s Ones to Watch festival is now seven years old! As always we’re continuing our quest to find the best emerging talent in the country , whilst also showcasing some artists that have taken the next step and are planning releases in 2017. The festival covers a wide range of music, from Folk, Indie, HipHop, Electronic, Experimental, Rock and more in between. Below are the first round of announcements, 40 acts to whet your appetite (there will be more announcements next week). As before we’ve been helped with some suggestions by those mighty lads in State.ie and there’ll be a free pint of Hop House 13 with every ticket purchased (so #TopTip – Day tickets actually represent better value for money) ————–
