Blood Orange - 'Saint'
Info: Metropolis Festival returns for its 4th edition in the RDS following last year's triumphant sell-out Bank Holiday Weekend. Metropolis Festival is a multi-stage, indoor winter music festival & conference which launched 2015 in the RDS and was the first of its kind in Ireland. Taking place across the October Bank Holiday Weekend, the festival has created a whole new experience in the Irish festival landscape. Music flow's out of bespoke stages, housed in multiple warehouse spaces within the RDS, conversations take place with Red Bull Music Academy and installations that challenge the senses. One of the festival objectives is to create a unique and abstract identity each year to continuously captivate its audience. Over the last three years, this unique indoor has become a staple on the Irish festival calendar.
In a very tantalising first announcement from Metropolis Festival, the RDS will see the likes of Blood Orange (latest video for single 'Saint' from new album Negro Swan above), Mac Demarco, Róisín Murphy, Villagers and Young Fathers over the October Bank Holiday weekend. In addition, revellers will be able to catch Chicago house / disco act The Black Madonna, German piano / electronic pair Grandbrothers and Cardiff's Gwenno whose latest album Le Kov is a wonderful medley of trip-hop, ambient electronica and good time indie-pop.
REMY will of course be on hand to keep you up to date as new acts are announced and there'll be a playlist for your perusal closer to the festival. In the meantime, enjoy a video apiece from the immense Mac DeMarco and Edinburgh's Young Fathers. Tickets are on sale now, info below.
MacDeMarco - 'Ode to Viceroy'
Young Fathers - 'In My View'
Tickets are on sale now via Ticketmaster and usual outlets. Note: Metropolis Festival now operates an over-21s age policy. More info can be found at www.metropolisfestival.ie
