Hard Working Class Heroes 2012 has laid down it’s lineup for 2012 and got a lovely mix of new and known to celebrate its 10th year in business.
The festival as we previously announced is October 4th – 6th 2012 taking place in multiple Dublin venues. Tickets for the event are €45 plus fees and nightly tickets cost just €20.
Tickets are currently on sale from Entertainment.ie/tickets
Speaking about the selection, Angela Dorgan, Director said “It’s truly remarkable that here we are at ten years of the festival and Irish Music continues to surprise us. The judges around the globe were incredibly impressed with the quality of the acts as well as the diversity. Both are really well reflected in the line up. As nearly half of the bands have never played the festival before we are also continuing our task of unearthing brand new acts for everyone to discover.”
So who can you enjoy over the weekend, Red Sail have been hotly tipped by us since Tea and Toast, CLU is an intriguing new promoter, Benny Smiles received a positive review recently, Elaine Mai is class, Croupier have a great new album, Daithi is amazing live and there’s so many more worth checking out.
