Over the last few weeks, Hot Press has been inviting acts from all around the country to send in samples of their music, for a chance to play on the Music Show's Live Stage.

We were inundated with entries, and after much deliberation, have selected twenty lucky finalists.

And now, voters - over to you! Simply select your favourite band/singer from our online vote.

The winners will play at this year's Music Show, taking place in the RDS on October 2 & 3.
The Music Show, presented by Hot Press in association with RTÉ 2FM, Irish Independent & Evening Herald, runs from October 2nd-3rd in The RDS, Dublin. Saturday 2nd October 10 am - 6.30 pm, Sunday 3rd October 11 am - 6.30 pm.
