From Thursday May 27th to Sunday May 30th hundreds of musicians will take to the streets, bars, cafes and public spaces to celebrate all that is good about Ireland.
This year’s unique line up of events includes the popular *‘Rising Stars’ event which will once again see Meeting House Square in the heart of Temple Bar transformed into an urban picnic space from 5pm on Thursday 27th – Saturday 29th of May. While the final line-up is a closely guarded secret, already confirmed are Mob Fandango, Fiach, Jezzebelle, Jupe, Mark Conway and the Ratzingers – and that’s just the Opening Night Party, with special guests yet to be revealed. Admission is free as always and organisers are promising a relaxed, friendly, welcoming atmosphere for one and all.
Organisers were once again overwhelmed by the response from the world’s emerging artists to their Rising Stars search with entries received from; America, Australia, Belize, Canada, Egypt, England, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Jamaica, Kazakhstan, Mexico, Poland, Scotland, Spain and Togo.
Festival Founder and CEO Chris Maher said: “This year’s Dublin City Soul Festival is going to be bigger than ever as top class musicians take to our streets to entertain the people of Dublin. Temple Bar will be buzzing and humming to the sound of Soul music and we hope to fill the streets and provide FREE entertainment for all.
“We are also delighted to have received such a great response again this year from artists around the country and across the globe. We’ve had great fun listening to all the submissions for the Rising Stars element of the Festival and they are now available for the public to enjoy on the events dedicated website www.risingstars.ie where they can, listen, download, share and vote for their particular favourites.”
To celebrate their 4th anniversary in style Dublin City Soul Festival will also be giving three holiday trips of a lifetime to Memphis and one trip to New Orleans away. Members of the public can enter the online draw at www.soul.ie.
The world’s only Soul Picnic will be back again, despite a funding cut from Dublin City Council. Festival founder Chris Maher said; “If I have to cycle everywhere for the next 12 months to help cover the costs I will. Festivals drive tourism and the revenue generated is vital to our economy and the Soul Festival and our showpiece Soul Picnic event attracts a large overseas audience…the show must go on, no matter what.” The Soul Picnic is a free family day featuring six hours of live music in a picnic style and the entire event is broadcast live on 103.2 Dublin City FM.
There’s lots more cool free stuff to see and do including the City Soul Trail – free live music & DJ’s in Dublin’s best bars and venues, an Icons of Soul Photographic exhibition, Secret Soul Parties, Soul Cinema screenings and the ever popular Soul Food Restaurant Trail which will offer people a chance to enjoy some mouth-watering soul food from May 17th in selected venues with the good people at Bridgestone Guides on board to help find Dublin’s Best Soul Food.

"Since we hired Good Seed PR we have seen a dramatic increase in the amount of PR we’re getting for our artists in Ireland. The service and reporting we’re getting from Linda is spot on. She’s helpful, professional and on the ball, and our artists love her. I’m not sure I should be saying this, as she’s so good, I don’t really want to share…" - Anette Collins Head of International– Cooking Vinyl Records
