New festival for Clontarf, Dublin

A new one-day event has been added to the festival calendar. On 22 August, 12 of the best up-and-coming Irish acts will play Summersound at the East Point Bar.

Bands that have been confirmed include Galway four-piece Disconnect 4, Dublin's Mighty Atomics and new indy-rock kids on the block, The Red Labels. There'll also be DJs and dancing, not to mention an after-show party in town.

And all for a recession-busting €26. Take that, mainstream concert promoters. Tickets are available from Road Records, Citydiscs and on the interweb from www.eventelephant.ie/summersoundfestival.
