Seen as a career-making showcase for musicians around Europe, Eurosonic 2013 takes place from January 9-12 and the first list of acts has just been unveiled.

Amongst the diverse acts is our own fantastic Little Green Cars. Signed last month to BMG Ireland, the Dublin quintet are aiming to release their debut next year and playing Eurosonic should certainly give them a massive boost profile-wise, as it has so frequently done for Irish acts in the past.

The Eurosonic just gone had Ireland as the focus country, with the likes of Lisa Hannigan, Bitches With Wolves and Rams' Pocket Radio all playing. Expect a healthy turn-out from the Irish contingent once more, and stay with hotpress.com for further additions.
