Hard Working Class Heroes showcases the best of Irish music to an international industry audience and discerning local audiences.

Building on its strengths on an annual basis, Hard Working Class Heroes returns to the streets of Dublin over the weekend of 12 - 14 September for its sixth consecutive year.

Returning to its spiritual home in the Temple Bar area of Dublin the festival is once again calling on the best of Ireland's bands to register digitally to secure a slot to play at the event.

This year, in addition, Ireland's photographers are being called on to submit their finest shots for a chance to feature in a full Photographers Exhibition which is being curated by Ireland's newest quality monthly magazine State.

Sons & Daughters will bring the best of emerging talent from our Scottish neighbors. And as if that's not enough there will be panels, mentor sessions and more with a host of international delegates on hand to share their wisdom and experience.

As always, and as you would expect from the only festival of its kind in Ireland, Hard Working Class Heroes promises a spectacular collection of close on 100 acts over the three days.

Tickets are on sale now.
