Get to know some hidden gems.
There are some big names performing at Bulmers Forbidden Fruit this year. We all know Snakehips from their classic, and we all know Jax Jones from the outrageously catchy “You don’t know me” hit that has been played in every single nightclub on repeat since 2016.
Here’s some acts you might not have heard of, and some of their songs. Enjoy!
Fatima Yamaha
A very cool name for a very cool act. You might have heard the tune “What’s a girl to do” from about six years ago, but it’s still an absolute banger to this day. Take a listen:

Danny Brown
This man is well-known to anyone who considers themselves a die-hard rap fan, but alas that is not everybody. Danny Brown has one of the most unique voices in the music industry, to the point you can’t help but notice it. Here’s him rapping over the beat of Britney Spears’ toxic:

Giggs
Perhaps the most well known on this list, due to his recent on-stage antics with Drake, the London grime rapper is having what is definitely the most successful year of his career. He features twice on Drake’s More Life playlist, and has toured Europe with him. Check him out here.

Mall Grab
The Australian electronic DJ has performed in Ireland a few times, and always pleases the crowd. If you’re in any way into techno/dance music, you’ll enjoy seeing this guy live.

Motor City
Another techno style DJ, Motor City Drum Ensemble is one of the most exciting acts at this year’s festival. With an old-school funky style, Motor City are definitely not to be missed this year. Have a listen to him here.
