The all-ages music festival BASED has announced its third instalment for December 30 at The Button Factory.

The festival will showcase a diverse lineup of up-and-coming indie rock acts from around Ireland, including acts such as Croíthe, Concrete Handbag, Bioluminescence, Garvan Lambert, NaTonnta, The Hex, Pending and Cedalia, among others.

BASED festival is the first of its kind and is designed to provide a platform for young emerging talent in Ireland. It was created in response to the need for inclusive and accessible events for a new generation of artists and music fans.

Presented by Fluttertone, champions of independent music in Ireland for nearly a decade, the BASED festival aims to create an inclusive space for music lovers of all ages.

Festival director Colm says, “I’ve seen so much talent in bands that are fantastic but can’t get opportunities to play because they’re not 18.” BASED provides a stage for these young artists, as well as addressing the lack of safe shows for young music fans.

Tickets for BASED festival are on sale now for €22.30.
