One of the best acts of Electric Picnic will be at the 2FM Xmas Ball

Put the date in the calendar, it’s not to be missed…

Christmas is the perfect time to take in some gigs and what better way to do it than at the 2FM Xmas Ball at the 3Arena.

After the success of last year’s Xmas Ball with Hozier headlining, fans can expect more of the same entertainment this year with Kodaline the lead act.

But, they’re not the only reason to be attending, as Jenny Greene and the RTÉ Concert Orchestra will also be performing at the event.

You may remember, they absolutely killed it at Electric Picnic this year.

They’ll be joined on the December 3 bill by some outstanding Irish acts – Picture This, The Academic, All Tvvins, Brian Deady and Áine Cahill.

Tickets on sale Thursday September 29 and will cost you €39.50 including a booking fee with all proceeds going towards the ISPCC.

Head of RTÉ 2FM, Dan Healy said: 

We’re absolutely thrilled that we can join with MCD again this year to present the ball and support the ISPCC with this brilliant event. Not only does it give 2FM a great opportunity to support this wonderful charity – it also gives us the opportunity to reinforce our ongoing support of great Irish artists and Irish music. We are full of admiration for the work of the team at the ISPCC. It’s guaranteed to be a great event raising money for a hugely important charity!”
