In its inaugural year, 250 artists submitted their tracks for consideration. A prestigious panel of music industry judges then chose 16 acts to perform in front of audiences at a series of live showcases in Belfast and Londonderry in May. After much deliberation, the judges have now decided that Trucker Diablo and Gerard i2 are the two acts that will open Tennent’s Vital in August.

Trucker formed in early 2008 and soon built up momentum through the local support of fans and strong word of mouth across the internet. Their self-released debut album ‘The Devil Rhythm’, features a guest appearance from Thin Lizzy frontman, Ricky Warwick.

Closer to home, the band will play the Courthouse on July 6.
