So. Much. Good. Music.

This is music overload to the highest degree.

Hard Working Class Heroes are back and have announced the line-up for HWCH 2017.

HWCH made the annual call for bands to apply in June and had a huge response. Close to 500 applied and 50 bands were chosen independently by top Irish and international music industry professionals.

The live showcases will take place on Friday 29 and Saturday 30 September across five Dublin city centre venues; The Workman’s Club, The Grand Social, Tramline, The Underground and The Tara Building.

On Thursday 28 September, the opening night, a targeted networking social event will take place in the Chocolate Factory where all the international delegates will have the chance to meet with their Irish counterparts and artists attending the HWCH conference.

This will be Ireland’s largest gathering of bookers, labels, managers, music supervisors, radio folk and journalists from around the world and here at home.

Each year, HWCH brings Ireland to the world and the world to Ireland over one weekend. It will see a mixture of workshops, discussions and panels which are growing in importance year on year for artists across all levels to meet with people who can make a difference.

Chasing Abbey, Daithí, LAOISE and SOULÉ are just four of the outstanding acts that will grace the different stages at HWCH and the full line-up for the weekend can be found here.

Tickets can be bought on Eventbrite right this minute. Conference and weekend live tickets are €55, Weekend live tickets are €35 and Conference tickets are €25 while Nightly Live tickets are €25 and Single Venue tickets are €12.
