Live Music: Showcasing the incredible skills of young musicians involved in Music Generation Galway City programmes

Special Guest Performance: Telebox

Hailing from the West of Ireland, Telebox brings an infectious energy and undeniable passion to the indie rock scene. This four-piece powerhouse formed during their school days and hasn’t stopped since. They’ve been busy honing their electrifying sound both live and in the studio, consistently delivering captivating performances and releasing their music independently.

Last summer saw the release of their debut EP, “What is the Point?”, which they took on tour across Ireland, leaving audiences wanting more. Their dynamic stage presence and catchy tunes have earned them spots at renowned venues like Whelan’s, Dolan’s, Cyprus Avenue, The Spirit Store, and of course, Galway’s very own Róisín Dubh!

Support Act: TaLLLon

4 Teens from Galway – Liam on Vocals /Guitar , Cian on Bass , Adam on Drums & Ultan on Guitar .. first met just last summer at the school of rock Galway and they have since then been working on their own Alternative Rock style through covers and making their own original music.
