It was all about the music this weekend as Three Ireland’s City Stages took over South Anne Street, Dublin.
Popular Irish artists Erica Cody and Lea Heart were spotted at the event, which was attended by a host of upcoming singers and musicians.
City Stages is designed to support the next generation of Irish musicians, currently performing on city streets, to progress their careers to the biggest stages in the country. City Stages will tour Ireland in the coming months, providing a platform for buskers and emerging musicians to perform to new audiences and promote their music.
The line-up included some of Ireland’s best busking talent. The event was the second for the 2023 Tour which will visit towns and cities across Ireland to shine a spotlight on some of the country’s best new talent and provide opportunities for them to perform on some of the biggest stages such as 3Olympia and 3Arena.
Each City Stages artist will also receive mentoring workshops by Irish music industry executives to help them progress their career. The initiative is supported by AIM Ireland and Sony Music Ireland. Three City stages will touch down in towns and cities across Ireland in the coming months.
Applications to perform are now open at 3.ie/citystages.
