The Next Big Thing 2025

Ex Oh Promotions are thrilled to announce our 4th annual ‘The Next Big Thing’ festival, live from The Workman’s Club on Wednesday 22nd to Friday 24th of January 2025. 

The Next Big Thing is a proudly DIY festival, curated by musicians for musicians.

Our mission is to platform the incredible breadth of talent this island has to offer. Some highlights this year include Annie and the Witness, yes chef! , Vatican J*il, and Teeejuh, and more to be announced.

With 21 artists taking to the stage for three electrifying nights of music and all-venue takeover, The Next Big Thing is all set to brighten up the gloomy January nights, giving you something to get buzzed for once the Christmas season’s over.

Boasting an eclectic line-up from hip-hop to heavy rock, indie, and DJ sets - there’s guaranteed to be something for every kind of music fan.

The Next Big Thing introduces gig-goers to a new wave of home-grown talent and gives them a real festival feel with two stages across the iconic Workman’s venue on Wellington Quay.

This year’s event will also include a mini vintage market beside the Cellar Stage, with local market stalls selling bespoke art, clothing, and jewellery!
