Ready To Take Your Music Career To The Next Stage?
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 since 2022, taking place outside Three stores around the country – showcasing emerging talent from the Irish music scene.
In February 2023, we were delighted to have Tia Burke as the first City Stages support act who was the opening act for Self Esteem in 3Olympia. Following this, in 2023, eight Irish musicians went from performing on city streets to the stage at Electric Picnic as Three City Stages came to Ireland’s biggest festival. The City Stages Collective, comprised of Arthur Valentine, Bukky, Kestine, Korey Power, Leah Moran, Liliana Pinheiro, Salamay and Two Time Charlie, combined their musical talents for a very special ensemble performance at Electric Picnic. Supported by a full backing band, the group showcased the wealth of Ireland’s busking talent found performing daily across the main streets of cities around the country.
Moving into 2024, four City Stages performers were selected to supported Gavin James on his 2024 European tour – with Rachel Grace and Gemma Cox supporting his two shows in Amsterdam, and Dawna and Jamie McIntyre supporting for his two shows in Paris in February.
Electric Picnic 2024 was bigger than ever for The Three City Stage Collective, comprised of five outstanding performers; Ava McKechnie, Brinda Irani, Dave Lofts, Jamie McIntyre and Tadhg Nolan, who have taken part in Three’s City Stages initiative over the past 18 months. The group of young musicians were given the opportunity by Three to take their talent from the city streets to the big stage at Ireland’s largest festival. To prepare for the show, the group rehearsed under the tutelage of one of Ireland’s most loved and revered performers Imelda May (who sent the group a good luck message before they took to the stage), alongside Camden Recording Studios MD Cian Boylan and a 12 piece band of accomplished touring musicians who have graced the stage with global music stars such as Van Morrison, Sting, Brandon Flowers and Paolo Nutini.
