Main contenders?

As exclusively revealed last month on hotpress.com, Poptones supremo Alan McGee is bringing his travelling DeathDisco hooley to Dublin on May 5th.

Joining him for a night of maximum rock 'n' roll at Switch in Eustace Street (opposite the Irish Film Centre) are B.P. Fallon, Simon F and assorted "special guests" who may or may not have a penchant for white ties.

The punk-metal-garage-glam-trash fun starts immediately after The Hives finish their set at nearby Dublin Castle. And if that's not a big enough clue, we give up on you!
