Tilt will celebrate its fifth anniversary this October when the monthly showcase event returns for its 28th edition in The Button Factory with performances from Ben Bix, DeCarteret, and Elikya

The free event curated by John Barker and produced by Steve Caffrey and The Sound Training College aims to highlight the best emerging Irish acts while also providing training for students interested in a career in the live music industry.

Before performing at Tilt #28 with his band Ben Bix will be embarking on a 16 date European tour. His new single Goodnight Sexy People is out right now.

DeCarteret

DeCarteret is an artist whose eclectic musical tastes is evident throughout every single and EP she’s released since 2020. She’s collaborated with the likes of Bricknasty, 1000 Beasts, KhakiKid and Qbanaa and has been tipped for big things in GoldenPlec’s Plec Picks series.

Elikya

Elikya specialise in trance inducing music from the heart of Congo. The 9 piece rumba / dance / bass heavy outfit have spent the last 20 years acting as Congolese music’s ambassadors to the nation. They are an incredible collective of musicians live on stage – think full band choreography, a highly stylised wardrobe and the musical expertise of classic big band orchestras.
