ALL TVVINS
When: Saturday, 19:50, Molson Canadian Main Stage
You can't help but feel like All Tvvins are on the cusp of something huge on the back of two massive singles, Thank You and Too Young To Live. Make a point of catching the boys before they blow up.
Basement Jaxx
When: Friday, 22:45, Molson Canadian Main Stage
Big beat outfit Basement Jaxx are set to bring the noise to Mitchelstown as the headliners of the festival. Having surpassed all expectations at the Trinity Ball earlier this year, the dance veterans are expected to deliver once again this weekend.
Grant Nicholas
When: Friday, 19:50, Molson Canadian Main Stage
Grant Nicholas brought his signature solo sweetness to Whelan’s earlier in the year. His mellow styling may be a world away from Feeder’s sky scraping rock, but it has its place at Indiependence. Standout track Time Stood Still should get everyone moving.
The Dandy Warhols
When: Sunday, 19:00, Molson Canadian Main Stage
Indiependence has a knack for booking artists that are all about the nostalgia factor. This year, it's The Dandy Warhols. Encompassing all things noughties rock, hits such as Bohemian Like You will strike a chord.
Jape
When: Friday, 21:00, Molson Canadian Main Stage
Submerge yourself in blissed-out electro pop with Jape, Richie Egan's Scandinavian-based project. Drawing songs from his Choice Music Prize winning back catalogue and 2015's 'The Chemical Sea', Jape's set will be much talked about come the weekend.
Ash
When: Saturday, 22:45, Molson Canadian Main Stage
Having returned with one of the best Irish albums of 2015 so far with 'Kablammo', now is as good a time as any to catch veteran Irish rockers Ash live. Famed for their deafeningly loud performances, the trio have lost none of their onstage edge as they proved recently with a standout performance in Whelan’s
Wyvern Lingo
When: Saturday, 20:45, Big Top Stage
There is something unusual in the water in Bray - apart from fluoride - that keeps producing fine musical acts, including Wyvern Lingo. The trio recently signed to Rubyworks and have been travelling the world supporting none other than Hozier. These ladies are destined to be headliners in their own right one day, so catch them now before the world catches on.
The Academic
When: Sunday, 17:50 Molson Canadian Main Stage
Hailing from Mullingar, The Academic are armed with radio-friendly melodies and fresh-faced charm. Their debut single Different was one of the breakthrough songs of the year so far, resulting in them opening for Noel Gallagher in Cork recently.
HamsandwhicH
When: Saturday, 23:45, Big Top Stage
Their latest album ‘Stories From The Surface’ went straight to the top of the Irish charts - a deserved outcome for the Kells group’s finest output to date. Fronted by madcap guitarist Podge and impressive vocalist Niamh, HamsandwhicH never disappoint in a live setting.
