The Scratch, THUMPER, Lucy McWilliams, Bobbi Arlo and EFÉ are among the artists set to play at the showcase later this year.

The artists set to play at this year's Ireland Music Week have been revealed – with 50 acts selected from over 500 applications. The showcase event is set to return to Dublin from October 4–7, capped off with two nights of music in various venues around the city on October 6 and 7.

“Having successfully kept Ireland Music Week and our showcasing artists in the international calendar over two years of lockdown we are beyond excited to see the line-up of spectacular talent that will fill the rooms of our venues over October 6th and 7th," says Angela Dorgan, CEO of First Music Contact, who run Ireland Music Wee. "Year after year Ireland is producing world-beating music talent in incredibly diverse genres and we are honoured to present them to local audiences and international delegates, who will help them develop their professional careers."

This year's line-up includes an impressively wide range of genre-spanning talent – including many artists who contributed to the Hot Press Y&E Series. See the full line-up below.
