The Irish takeover.
This year, Bulmers Forbidden Fruit announced that they would have an
all-Irish stage, and we pay tribute to all of the fine Irish acts gracing that particular stage.
Le Boom
Their energetic late-night live shows have now spread into the US. Niall Byrne of the Irish Times said that "Le Boom are Le Shit" and he's quite right.

Bad Bones
The Dublin-based producer has a unique take on electronic music that will you leave you begging for more.

LAOISE
The Galway native incorporates elements of synth, indie and alternative pop into her music. Fun fact, this song contains the words Forbidden Fruit.

Ships
Grabbing the attention of local and lauded blogger Nialler9 in 2011, the band have gone from strength to strength since.

The Innocent Bystander
Producer Mark Healy has been on the go for the last two decades. This single features falsetto vocals from Daniel Hoff giving it a real New Order and Everything But the Girl vibe.
