In a world of shuttered music venues and snatched-away opportunities, Ireland’s music community continues to defy the odds – with young, emerging artists defiantly rising above seemingly insurmountable challenges, and flying the flag for their country. This bold energy, independent ethos and genre-defying talent is evident across our list of Hot For 2021 Irish Acts – which features artists from every corner of Ireland.
Bobbi Arlo:
Arriving on the Irish scene with a powerful, arena-ready pop sound and indisputable star quality, 22-year-old Dubliner Bobbi Arlo is tipped for mega success. Arlo’s 2019 debut single ‘Berries’ was a radio smash hit. She built on that last year with two equally remarkable singles (see below) that sound perfectly at home on the radio next to Ariana and Miley.
Hear: ‘Signs’.
