Ones To Watch 2014 to kick off in Whelan's

Tomorrow (Jan 8) sees the start of this year's Ones To Watch festival in Dublin. Over 50 of the finest breaking acts will grace the three stages of Whelan's and The Village over the four days, taking in everything from indie and folk to pop and electronic.

A day ticket costs a fiver, whilst a festival ticket is only €10 and includes a free pint. They're on sale now from [link]whelanslive.com[/link] and [link]wavtickets.ie[/link].

All the acts are lovingly and expertly selected, but Hot Press has its eye on the fantastic pairing of Tandem Felix and Other Creatures in Whelan's on Friday, and the same venue's Saturday night headliners, breathtaking post-rockers Overhead, The Albatross (pictured).
