Arthur's Day Line-up confirmed

Sharleen Spiteri and Amy MacDonald were in attendance at the Storehouse.

Example, Tinie Tempah, Ellie Goulding, Mika, Professor Green, Fatboy Slim, Texas and Amy MacDonald are the heavyweight names confirmed for September 27’s Arthur’s Day celebrations which, for the first time, will be coming to all corners of Ireland.

The line-up has just this minute been announced in the Guinness Storehouse with Texas singer Sharleen Spiteri and Ms. Macdonald on hand to quaff a couple of celebratory pints.

They’ll be joined by the cream of Irish talent and some other surprises!

There are no tickets on sale this year – just head to one of the 500 free Arthur’s Day events taking place in local pubs across all 32 Counties, and keep an eye on the door to see who walks through!

“Arthur’s Day has always been about people coming together for unique and remarkable music experiences in pubs and venues around the country,” reflects Guinness Marketing Manager Stuart Kinch. “This year, we wanted to do more and give everyone the chance to experience the magic of Arthur’s Day by making all events free and giving the public a chance to vote and help bring a headline artist to their local!

“Apart from the change from 38 ticketed music events last year to over 500 free Arthur’s Day music events this year in pubs in all 32 counties, we anticipate many more pubs will also be organising their own celebrations around the country so it promises to be the biggest Arthur’s Day yet with the Arthur Guinness Fund also directly benefiting from the celebration.”

The aforementioned voting process is taking place online at www.guinness.com up until September 16.

That's basically like Where's Waldo?

Would be great if he played the Storehouse, but if he played at Johnnie Foxes, that would be awesome

So the odds to be at the right place to see Mika are 1/500? I've never seen something like that before

I can't believe this. I'm so excited I just want to get the next flight home to Dublin.

Johnny Fox's is too far out, up in the mountains.

Beaumont House would be perfect for me and Luke. But I'd like it to be somewhere like Mulligans.
The thing about this is it could be a fairly big venue or a tiny little pub you don't know.

I'm sure with our MFC detective skills we'll find out.

But I hate that drive up to Foxes. It's way up the mountains.
