Three All For Music City Stages is designed to support Irish buskers in order to take them from their humble beginnings on the streets all the way to the biggest stages in Ireland – with a chance to play at 3Olympia, 3Arena and Electric Picnic.

City Stages has been touring nationwide throughout 2023, taking place outside Three stores around the country – showcasing emerging talent from the Irish music scene. 

Chosen artists to play at City Stages will get:

• Their own dedicated performance slot.
• A social media tool kit for promotions.
• Recorded content of their performance.
• The chance to go from busking to performing on some of Ireland's biggest stages opening for some huge acts at 3Olympia and 3Arena.

All entrants will get:

• A music career masterclass led by a panel of Irish music industry professionals on everything they need to help progress their music careers.

This summer eight Irish musicians will take the step from performing on city streets to the stage at Electric Picnic as Three City Stages comes to Ireland’s biggest festival this summer. The City Stages Collective, comprised of Arthur Valentine, Bukky, Kestine, Korey Power, Leah Moran, Liliana Pinheiro, Salamay and Two Time Charlie, will combine their musical talents for a very special ensemble performance at Electric Picnic. Supporting by a full backing band, the group will showcase the wealth of Ireland’s busking talent found performing daily across the main streets of cities around the country.

Electric Picnic isn’t the first major opportunity that Three’s City Stages has provided to up & coming Irish talent. In February, we were delighted to have Tia Burke as the first City Stages support act who was the opening act for Self Esteem in 3Olympia on February 26^th 2023!

Three’s City Stages will continue touring Ireland across 2023, post Electric Picnic, with more opportunities for those artists to play on some of Ireland’s biggest stages.
