We're just two weeks away from learning who will scoop this year's Choice Music Prize but the big announcement will only be one part of the night's action.

Seven of the nominees – Bell X1, Girls Names, Little Green Cars, Mano Le Tough, O Emperor, Lisa O'Neill and Villagers – will take to the Vicar Street stage to perform songs from their shortlisted albums. The event is sold-out, but that won't stop you catching some of the finest music produced in the country last year. You can keep up with all the action on [link]rte.ie[/link] and [link]meteor.ie[/link].

Then, for the first time, an hour-long highlights programme will follow on RTÉ Two. Catch that at 10.30pm on Sunday March 2.
