11th and 12th May 2012 will mark the launch of a very exciting new live music event in Dublin, Camden Crawl Dublin. Rather the opposite of what its ‘pub crawl’ title implies, this Crawl is a music connoisseur's dream. With an eclectic line up boasting more than 100 of the most hotly tipped International and Irish live acts and special guests performing across 15 venues dotted between Dublin’s Camden Street and Temple Bar areas, Camden Crawl Dublin 2012 will introduce an adventurous musical journey to the city like no other.
Curating under one umbrella for the first time, the Crawl unites Ireland’s most esteemed DJs, promoters, media and independent record labels to program the festival. As well as each presenting a venue, this amazing group forms the uniquely democratic artist selection panel for the festival.
Camden Crawl Dublin is the place to be to discover tomorrow’s next big thing and its affordable one pass system makes witnessing the best emerging talent accessible to everyone. Tickets, which are exchanged for wristbands, allow unlimited entrance to all venues, outdoor stages and after show parties and include a free programme guide and album featuring the acts performing in 2012. Individual venue line ups and timings remain a mystery until the opening evening to enhance the exploratory spirit of the festival. Crawlers are advised to arrive early as ‘headliners’ and surprise guests may appear at any time or venue.
The Camden Crawl Dublin is the first ever sibling of its namesake Camden Crawl event in London. Launching the UK festival season each spring, the award winning event has become an internationally recognized calendar fixture renowned for showcasing the forthcoming year’s most hotly tipped live music artists alongside special guests to sell out audiences since its inception in 1995. Historic Camden Crawl’s featured landmark performances by such modern day luminaries (and legends) as Adele, Snow Patrol, Amy Winehouse, Mogwai, Florence + The Machine, Hot Chip, Plan B, Biffy Clyro, Frank Turner, Foals, Mumford and Sons, Example, Friendly Fires, Professor Green, The Cribs, Laura Marling, The XX, Villagers, The Temper Trap and many many more.
