Who will it be?

If you like your night out with a bit of intrigue thrown in, an upcoming gig at The Crane Lane Theatre on December 7th will be your cup of tea.

Cork will be the first city to host ‘The Secret Headliner’, a new series highlighting the incredible live music scene across Ireland.

Filmed for Virgin Media Television and scheduled for broadcast later in 2024, ‘The Secret Headliner’ will see three major Irish artists perform a secret gig in a small local venue in three towns or cities across the country.

Kicking off in Cork on Thursday, December 7th, The Crane Lane is giving local revellers the opportunity to see one of three high-profile artists in a more intimate setting. In addition, a special local support act has been handpicked to play, with local band ‘Simple Things’ revealed to perform the Cork leg.

“In the wake of the pandemic, many music venues and musicians have been so badly impacted, with much of the live music scene still recovering.” they told us.

“Proud of its musical heritage, Ireland’s music community has always looked after its own. As a tribute to the grassroots music scene and in support of upcoming, emerging talent, the anonymous major headliner has chosen to play in a space and venue where it all begins.”

The mystery headliner will only be officially revealed when they take to the stage on the evening at The Crane Lane.

The event is free with limited tickets available – email tshaudience@indiepics.ie to get in the audience.
