Guinness Amplify Live Stages power up

22 of Ireland's hottest acts - selected after the Guinness Amplify events over five weekends last year - are gearing up to rock venues around the country tomorrow and Friday.
Dublin, Cork, Limerick and Galway will all welcome some of the country's most promising talents tomorrow, including the likes of Ciaran Lavery, Lethal Dialect and GANGS (pictured). Belfast follows suit the following night, with performances including a set from Westmeath hot-shots The Academic.
Best of all, admission to all gigs is free; if you're looking to plan a night of top-class musical entertainment, here's where you should be headed!
