After a spectacular few weeks, the current edition of the Hot Press Y&E Series is coming to a close this weekend. To cap it off in style, we've got a selection of phenomenal performances lined up over the days ahead – including Minnie Marley, going live on the Hot Press Instagram at 7pm tonight...

Drawing inspiration from a diverse range of artists – including Bob Marley, Aaliyah, and Ciara – Minnie Marley has established herself as a serious 'one to watch' in recent years. Her releases, which blend elements of Afrobeat, dancehall, hip-hop, and pop, are often paired with vibrant visuals – with the video for 'Vex' clocking up over 111,500 views on YouTube. In 2020, she also joined forces with Dublin rapper Dubzeno for a remix of 'TickTack'.

Watch the Hot Press Y&E Series – supported by the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media – live on the Hot Press Instagram (@hotpressmagazine) at 7pm each night.

Saturday, April 30: Negro Impacto

This Dundalk duo served up some of our musical highlights of 2021, with the release of their debut EP in October – and as such, were tipped as one of our 'Hot For 2022' Irish Acts. Comprised of vocalist Chi-Chi and producer StrangeLove, the pair joined forces during lockdown, and are fast becoming one of the most exciting, genre-defying acts in the country.

Sunday, May 1: Special Guest
