New names added to Arthurs Day today see Mumford and Sons, Primal Scream and Huey and his crew Fun Lovin’ Criminals all joining the headline artists who will be turning up for surprise performances in local pubs all over Ireland.
As you know September 27th is Arthursd Day, no tickets are on sale, you have to just pick a pub and wait and see who shows up. It’s guerrilla music warfare and lord knows what battle you’ll end up in. Scottish alt-rock legends Primal Scream said, “Get down to your local on Arthur’s Day as you never know where we may turn up”.
They of course are joining Fatboy Slim, Texas, Amy MacDonald, Mika, Prof Green, Tinie Tempah, Ellie Goulding and Example on the lineup of headliners who could be appearing anywhere in the country. If you like these acts you need to get behind your local and vote for your local to host these acts in the run up to Arthur’s Day. Voting will close on 16th September but in keeping with the spirit of Arthur’s Day, the winning pubs will remain a secret to the public until the night itself so you never know who might walk through the door.
Oh did we mention Royseven, Delorentos, Key West, Little Green Cars, We Cut Corners, The Hot Sprockets, Ghost Estates and more. Full list that we’re allowed tell you below.
