Hard Working Class Heroes have announced the 99 Irish bands who have been selected to play this year’s festival in Temple Bar, Dublin on 16/17/18 October (tickets on sale now from Tickets.ie and usual outlets). The festival headliners will be announced very soon along with details of the Photographic Exhibition and the Seminars and Mentor Sessions.

Building on its strengths on an annual basis, Hard Working Class Heroes returns to Dublin’s Temple Bar area over the weekend of Friday 16 / Saturday 17 / Sunday 18 October for its 7th consecutive year.

Entries this year were through FMC’s own Breaking Tunes, which allowed bands to build a personal profile and enter HWCH.

Ticket prices remain the same with 100 of Ireland’s best emerging bands on offer for a mere €40 for a full weekend pass while nightly wristbands for the event are a paltry €18.50.

Keeping up its high standard of additional events and activities there will be HWCH panels, mentor sessions and more with a host of international delegates on hand to share their wisdom and experience (thanks to the generous support of IMRO, The Arts Council, and Culture Ireland). Details of these will be revealed soon.

As always Hard Working Class Heroes promises a spectacular collection of music and fun for the whole weekend.

The festival website (www.hwch.net) will provide constant updates on the festival as it unfolds in the lead up to October 16/17/18.

The Hard Working Class Heroes festival has become the Irish independent music industry’s most telling barometer. It is a perfect opportunity to spot emerging acts as well as a chance to see more established artists perform in full festival spirit without having to buy a tent! HWCH is Ireland’s favourite festival dedicated to Irish bands. Once again music industry figures from around the world will be invited to attend and get involved in the festival and to experience firsthand the breadth of talent in Ireland.

Weekend Tickets are priced at €40.00, or individual nightly tickets at €18.50 are available via www.tickets.ie
