Not a gig but a free festival where every band is getting paid and there’s about 100 of them over two days playing the venues and pubs of Rathmines and Portobello. Look out for Somerville, Gavin Glass, Sineád White, Carriages, Laura Ann Brady and Twinkranes among them. Full times here.
Damn progressive rock.
This morning/afternoon.
