50 of Ireland’s most exciting bands will play live in 5 venues across Dublin\u00a0city on September 29th and 30th for\u00a0this year’s\u00a0Hard Working Class Heroes Festival<\/a>.\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n
\n

Close to 500 bands applied via\u00a0Breaking Tunes<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0and 50 bands were chosen independently by top Irish and international music industry professionals. The line up features artists from across a diverse range of genres and we are immensely proud of the fact that our line up represents a 50\/50 divide of male and female artists, which has been unheard of at any other Irish festival. The live showcase gigs will take place on Friday, September 29th and Saturday, September 30th\u00a0in\u00a0The Workman’s Club<\/strong><\/a>,\u00a0The Grand Social<\/strong><\/a>,\u00a0The Tara Building<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0and two of Dublin’s newest venues,\u00a0Tramline<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0The Underground<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n
