Virgin Media Television are looking for aspiring Irish musicians to take part in their upcoming TV show, The Secret Headliner.

The show will see an up-and-coming musician performing at a small venue as support for The Secret Headliner - a major Irish artist who is not revealed until they appear on stage.

The gig will be recorded and aired in May in an effort to highlight local talent from around Ireland.
