One of the hottest tickets in music right now and on the back of their recent Best British Group award win at the BRITs, Royal Blood come to the iconic Olympia Theatre in Dublin.
Their debut album, the self-titled Royal Blood has topped the album charts here and in the UK and is also starting to make waves in the US Billboard charts. This is a very eagerly awaited gig by Irish music fans everywhere.
Standby for our JOE Tombola Of Truth with the big band later in the week.

Where: Roisin Dubh, Galway

VANN MUSIC are a Dublin-based new-wave electro pop outfit who are making a name for themselves on the Irish music scene. They've just released a brand new EP called 'Running' and have embarked on a nationwide tour.
Their EP is produced by industry veteran Stephen Hague, who has worked with the likes of New Order and The Pet Shop Boys.
They make great melodies such as the brilliant 'Boy' above and we think they are certainly a band to watch in the coming years.
Who: Abandcalledboy
When: March 14th
Where: Spirit Store, Dundalk

Belfast four-piece, Abandcalledboy have been described as a hardcore power-pop band. We are not sure what that means exactly, but it does not take away from our enjoyment of some of their music.
They are loud, they have melodies and they make us want to see them live.
Dundalk folk, treat yourselves to some rock'n' roll baby.
Who: Ella Eyre
When: March 13th
Where: The Academy, Dublin

The London songstress brings her live show to Dublin this Friday night. Probably best known for her phenomenal vocals on Rudimental's massive drum and bass hit, 'Waiting All Night'.
Winner of last year's Best Newcomer award at the MOBO awards, this will be a gig of beautiful R'n'B and soul. Get on it.
Who: All We Are
When: 13th March
Where: Cyprus Avenue, Cork
http://youtu.be/-pWm4TDrM8A
A three-piece band and firm festival favourite, All We Are come to the Rebel County for what promises to be a magical live show.
Richard O'Flynn, the drummer is a Cork man so will be happy to show fellow band members who hail from Norway and Brazil around his city.
Currently prepping as a support act for London Grammar on their next tour, this will be an amazing gig to attend.
