“Supporting artists at this stage of their journey is a huge part of what we do at Ticketmaster, giving them a platform to connect with bigger audiences. We can’t wait to see the heights they hit in 2025.”

Having established herself as one of Ireland’s best young artists with her acclaimed debut Woman On The Internet, Gartland released her sophomore record Everybody Needs A Hero last October.

It was rated a 9/10 by Hot Press, writing that the musician “manages to traverse emotionally difficult terrain with an infectious sense of fun, replete with clever quips and electric energy.”

Folk three-piece Amble have also seen a steady rise this past year, with three sold-out Olympia dates in November and December and a recent inclusion on RTÉ 2FM Rising Artists line-up.

Previous Ticketmaster Breakthrough lists included Central Cee, Wet Leg, FLO and The Last Dinner Party.
