The music merch market is back for Christmas so you can directly support restricted musicians
The Merchy Market is a one-stop-shop Christmas market which started last year with bands selling their merch at The Grand Social last year while gigs were not possible at all.
And it’s back this year, just as gigs are curtailed to 50% seated capacity only until January 9th, so there’s literally no better time to directly support bands who have lost income once again.
On the Saturday 18th and Sunday 19th of December, the Grand Social in Dublin will host shops from Irish artists below, and the bands will be there in person selling their merch. It runs each day from 10am to 4pm with the following artists spread across two days.
