Submissions are now open for the 2021 edition of Whelan's Ones To Watch – which is going virtual for the first time ever in January.

The festival will be streamed for free online, allowing people to check out all the new talent that’s been bubbling up during lockdown.

While Whelan’s remains closed, the team behind the venue have recently invested in broadcast equipment – allowing them to stream gigs online until live gigs can return.

All up-and-coming acts that would like to be considered can apply here. The team have noted that this year's event will be limited, so don't delay!
