A series of hybrid live and livestream gigs will take place across five nights in September at music venue Drop Dead Twice on Francis Street, Dublin 8. Some of Ireland’s most up-and-coming artists will play live at the lightly-attended gigs on September 18th, 19th, 24th, 25th and 26th.

The shows will also be professionally live streamed using a multi-camera set-up, bringing the live experience to viewers at home. Called 'Laters With Griff...', the events are organised and hosted by former Knockanstockan founder David Griffin.

Artists slated to participate include: Bi Curious, Blackbird and Crow, Blue Fish Diamond, Chris Kabs, Contour, Dubh Lee, Dublin City Rounders, Emily 7, Fanacanta, Funkulele, Gaolbyrd, God Creative, Jaxson, JyellowL, Kieran Mulvihill, Lethal Dialect, Marcas Carcass And The Trail Gang, Modern Love, New Valley Wolves, The Last Vinci, TYG, Vernon Jane, Vulpynes, Witch Trials.

“The motives behind producing this series of shows is to begin a narrative to restore the capacity for skilled technicians and artists to engage in their vocations in a safe and controlled environment within the regulations and parameters set out by our health officials and Government,” Griffin said in a statement.

“As well as moving towards providing income for our decimated entertainment industry. We, along with so many people in the music and live events industries, are constantly innovating in this ever-changing climate that seems to move its goal posts every time we take a shot at restoration of the arts community."

Tickets for each act will be sold separately and strictly limited 40 to per sitting. Attendees are kindly requested to arrive at their scheduled time, as admittance to the venue will not be possible until then. There will be a one way system in place for entering and exiting the venue, Covid tracing measures and hygiene kits on each table.
