Featuring: THE SLUGS, OLD CRAB ROAD, 5 WIZARDS IN A TRENCHROBE

THE SLUGS are a Cork-based four-piece delivering high-energy riff-driven alt-rock with a sharp emotional edge. Their sound fuses the grit and swagger of Queens of the Stone Age and the melodic punch of Catfish and the Bottlemen, creating a taut, livewire tension that defines their identity. Rapidly building momentum in the Cork live scene having earned a reputation for visceral, high-energy, The Slugs are emerging as one of the most exciting new acts in Ireland’s DIY scene.

OLD CRAB ROAD is a Rock/Bluegrass/Folk band based in Tipperary with a combined 50 years of experience. Their performances are heartfelt, lively and entertaining and their songs are crafted in the forge of life's experiences and reflect the joy, anger, pain and ecstasy that marks a life.

5 WIZARDS IN A TRENCHROBE is a five-piece queer emo/hardcore Cork band that combines complex, Midwest influence with chunky, drop-tuned riffs to break away from cliche and truly stir up something original… and perhaps even magical.
