Ahead of a number of major live dates this summer, Bell X1 are set to perform a unique and exclusive gig via Facebook on Friday May 27th.

The gig will take place on the roof of the Facebook building in Dublin and will be webcast live on the band's official Facebook page at 8pm. With music from new album 'Bloodless Coup' as well as some old Bell X1 favourites, the show will be completely free to view online and fans will be invited to comment and interact on the social media site before, during and after the performance.

This is the first time Facebook have hosted such an event anywhere in the world, and Online-Sales Team-Leader Stan Massueras said "This is a really exciting project and we are really happy to be able to do it with one of the most creative and innovative Irish bands".
