Announcing: Next week's line-up for The Y&E Series on the Hot Press Lockdown Sessions

Following stellar performance this week, Hot Press is thrilled to announce next week's line-up for The Y&E Series.

In the weeks to come, the series will continue shine a light on some of the best new and emerging talent that Ireland has to offer in 2020. The Y&E Series will see 40 acts across 40 consecutive nights joining Hot Press on Instagram for a special live performance to be broadcast to Ireland and the world.

Ireland is overflowing with fresh musical talent – but the Coronavirus pandemic has had a severe impact on the forward march of young and emerging musicians. The Y&E Series aims to support this remarkable new music generation by delivering 40 paid gigs to 40 acts over 40 days, thanks to the support of the Department of Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht.
