The second annual ‘Merchy Christmas’ artists market, presented by One Stop Band Shop, is taking place 10am-4pm, Saturday 18th and Sunday 19th December, over multiple floors at The Grand Social, Dublin.
Indie artists need your support, and what better way to do it than by buying their merch!
Merchy Christmas is a real-life merch market where all your favourite artists flog their wares directly to you, their fans. Started last year during lock-down, it was the brainwave of Conor Cusack (Saint Sister’s manager at ie:music) and Saint Sister. Chatting about ways to create a personal connection with their listeners and thank them for their support over the year, they had the idea of a public merch stall. Working with Keiron Black and the folks at The Grand Social they hatched plans for this two-day event.
This year the market returns, bigger and better. With over 20 new acts just added to the billing, the event will host stalls from over 50 Irish artists.
