Ireland Music Week 2019 Artist Line-up Announced

August 8, 2019

Ireland Music Week are delighted to announce the 50 acts that will showcase at IMW19 as just revealed on the Tracy Clifford Show, RTÉ 2FM, the festival’s media partner.

https://www.irelandmusicweek.com/showcasing-artists-2019 and below.

The festival made the annual call in May for artists to apply and over 500 acts applied via First Music Contact’s platform Breaking Tunes and were chosen independently by both international and Irish music industry professionals.

Ireland Music Week places a strong focus on export-ready artists and the success rate year on year from the showcases has been remarkable.

The overwhelming feedback from our 8 Irish and over 30 International judges was the level of competition in this year’s applications. Year on year our judges remark on the quality of Irish bands in a global and not just local context. That is beyond encouraging to hear especially for all those who applied as well as the 50 who will showcase in October “ Angela Dorgan, CEO FMC
