John Newman for HMV in-store

Instore gigs are proving to be a major part of HMV's relaunch with Biffy Clyro, The Strypes, The Minutes, Cathy Davey, Jerry Fish and Hidden Highways all performing since the official return.

That run continues this Friday October 11 in HMV Dundrum as rising UK star John Newman takes to the stage at 4.30pm in support of debut album Tribute, which is released on the same day.

The music doesn't stop there as HMV Dundrum hosts its first Open Mic day on Saturday which kicks off at 12.30pm with performances expected from O Emperor, Buffalo Sunn, Hidden Highways and Knoeline Keane.
