After seeing British rock band Yonaka at Sea Sessions, we can't recommend them enough. With a badass lead singer and an album full of bangers, they're ones to watch.
Alt-rock band Inhaler are also on the rise, featuring Bono's son as the lead singer of the indie four-some.
Irish-English rapper Maverick Sabre also adds another level of Irish musicianship to the billing, what a talented man.
Born in Hackney, his family moved to Wexford when he was a youngster and grew up following singer-songwriter rappers like Plan B.
With The Body & Soul Village, The Hazel Wood ready for raving and the best food stalls in Ireland preparing themselves for the festival; It's set to be the best EP yet,
Unfortunately, tickets for the festival are totally sold out, but you may get lucky and nab a last minute ticket to this outrageously talent-packed festival?
Worth it to get a glimpse of Billie Eilish's hair honestly..
