Our Thursdays kicks off in town

Last Rush and Trucker Diablo will be playing the Lurgan venue with the fun kicking off at 9.30pm.

As part of this year’s Arthur’s Day celebrations, Guinness is on the look out for emerging talent from all over Ireland to offer them the incredible opportunity to share the stage with Snow Patrol and other amazing international artists as part of the Arthur’s Day line up on September 23.

600 bands have been chosen to play in pubs around Ireland and the first event in The Courthouse will allow music fans to witness two amazing, emerging acts performing free of charge.

Each Thursday, music fans will get to vote, via text, for their favourite act. Once the music fans decide on their favourite act on the night, the three winning bands will then go up against each other on the fourth and final night to be in with a chance to secure a place at one of the regional showcase events taking place in Cork, Galway, Dublin and Belfast on August 26. The national showcase takes place in Belfast on September 2.

Music industry experts including members of Snow Patrol will judge the final showcase, choosing the three final acts that will perform on September 23 at the Arthur’s Day celebrations in Galway, Cork and Dublin.
