The second edition of the music festival aimed at young people takes place Saturday July 6th in TU Dublin, Tallaght.
SubSounds is a youth music collective for young people aged 14-18 based in Tallaght. Since 2004 it has worked with musicians from around South Dublin County, mentoring them in the composition, arrangement, performance and recording of original music.
Many Subsounds-associated bands including The Sadhbh Keane Band, Stale Bread, The SubSounds Collective and The Mockingbirds will be playing at the SubSounds Youth Music Festival on Saturday from 12:30pm to 9pm at TU Dublin in Tallaght. There’s an open-mic stage too.
To top it off, Pillow Queens are lending their support by playing a headline set on the day.
Pillow Queens have released their third album Name Your Sorrow, a fine collection of the band’s indie rock heart-soaked tales of overcoming and tribulations.
Tickets are free and available from Eventbrite.
