The Roots, Chic, Mark Ronson, Jamie xx and Giorgio Moroder among first batch of acts announced for Metropolis
Billed as an "Music, Performance, Conversation, Installation" two-dayer, the inaugural Metropolis will take place in the Dublin RDS on November 7 and 8. A joint venture between John Reynolds' PoD Concerts who are responsible for Forbidden Fruit and Hidden Agenda, they're treating urban festival-goers to some wonderfully eclectic fare.
Early Bird Weekend Tickets priced €99.50 go on sale at 9am on Friday July 24.
Top of the bill are The Roots playing their first Dublin show for ten years; Nile Rodger's supreme disco act Chic; ace uptown funker Mark Ronson who's performing a DJ set; the red hot Jamie xx and 74-year-young electronic trailblazer Giorgio Moroder.
Joining them are Todd Terje, Kaytranada, Jeff Mills, Kerri Chandler, Kormac's Big Band, Cloud Castle Lake and the 100% live Tiga, KiNK, Marbou State, Dorian Concept, Matthew Herbert and Nosaj Thing.
And that's just for starters! Stay tuned to hotpress.com for Metropolis updates.
