28 Jan 21

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.

First Day Lions:

An indie rock band from Moate in Co. Westmeath, First Day Lions are supremely talented musicians, who can whack out a greatest hits of classic tracks from down the ages in a jiffy. However, Adam Cunningham and Adrian Rabbitte are now penning superbly catchy songs that have ‘Radio Hit’ and 'Festival Singalong' written all over them. Expect them to come surging through in 2021.
