Ireland Music Week 2023 has announced the 50 acts which will appear at this year’s live showcase event in Dublin this October 3-6. The line-up features some of the brightest up-and-coming acts in the county as well as some established names such as The Altered Hours, MayKay and Morgana from Saint Sister.

The line-up also includes Needle Drop approved rockers Naked Lungs, Thumper frontman Oisin Furlong’s solo vehicle Anamoe Drive and 2023 Plec Picks artists Cruel Sister and Fizzy Orange. Hip hip and R’N’B are heavily represented this year with Nealo, KID V, Melina Malone, Tomike, Alicia Raye and hotly tipped Tallaght artist Curtisy all set to appear.

The showcases will take place across six stages in The Grand Social, The Workman’s Club, (plus venue TBC) while Lost Lane will once again be the festival hub and location for the conference during the day.

“Every year the quality of new acts that submit for IMW astounds us. We are incredibly excited to work with these 50 artists to help kickstart their international journey and to bring them to the attention of so many key global music industry professionals. We are witnessing a golden age in Irish music and it is so exciting to be a part of that.”
