Playlist: 15 Must-See Acts at Hard Working Class Heroes This Weekend

hwch2016

Right up there with the country’s leading celebrations and showcases of homegrown, independent music, Hard Working Class Heroes will take over several venues in Dublin from October 6-8. With 100 acts once again independently selected to perform, we have well and truly racked our brains to whittle that imposing list down to 10 must-see acts this weekend.

Tickets for HWCH ’16 are still available to buy here.
