After a 2 year hiatus, Irish alternative music programme This Ain’t No Disco have announced the production of Season II, set to be released on New Year’s Day, 2020.

To raise funds and celebrate the launch of a new season, on September 26th the show will host “This Ain’t No Disco Live” in D-Light Studios, Dublin; an evening of live performances and interviews featuring a roster of stars from Season I, curated and hosted by Donal Dineen and the This Ain’t No Disco crew.

The full line-up for the event will be announced Wednesday, September 4th.

“After a recent funding rejection, we made a renewed push to look to our viewers for support via the crowdfunding platform Patreon. The reactions were tremendous and the feelings of love out there for our efforts, palpable. Not only has it given us great hope, but we genuinely feel that cutting out the middle person, and sustaining our efforts solely through the goodwill and generosity of our audiences is an entirely natural and beautiful circumstance, made possible by the freedom of the internet” says the creative force behind the project, Myles O’Reilly. 

“With your help, similar to our first season, we hope to create four new episodes and release them in Winter, Spring, Summer, and Autumn. A two year hiatus has been just long enough for many new acts to have emerged from Irish soil with new, unique and exhilarating sounds, across all genres. We hope to cast a lens on as many as possible, in locations East, West, North, and South this island. The backbone of each episode will feature Donal bringing together inimitable creative forces to discuss and collaborate in cultivating a sound that’s completely new and entirely true, to our present day, to our people and to our culture.”

Ticket sales for This Ain’t No Disco Live (€20) begin at 9am on Wednesday, September 4th. Discounted tickets (€15) are now available for a limited time to This Ain’t No Disco patrons on Patreon.
