While the past few years have seen Bell X1 making major artistic and career strides, the group has been honing its sound since its formation in 1999, and its members have been making music together since the early ‘90s.

Having debuted with 2000’s 'Neither Am I', band’s tireless touring efforts won it a reputation as a powerful live act. The sophomore effort 'Music in Mouth' followed in 2003, and established Bell X1 as both a major attraction and a critical favorite in its homeland, while winning the group increasing popularity in Europe. Their third album 'Flock', became a smash, establishing Bell X1 as one of Ireland’s best-selling recording acts and most popular live bands.

For their new release, 'Bloodless Coup', the group wanted to return to a more traditional way of recording. As in, write the songs. Rehearse the songs. Record the songs. In a recording studio. With other humans. And leave it alone. The record is about the idea that momentous change often happens in subtle or benign or lateral ways. Like realizing that you'll now never do certain things. Our own country's economic implosion. Stepping up with grace and holding a loved one as they slip away. Losing one's religion.  But it's also about how, through friendships and shared human experience, the good will win out.

Editors released their third album, ‘In This Light And On This Evening’ in 2009. The record represents a significant step forward for the band following the huge successes of debut album ‘The Back Room’ and the Number One follow up ‘An End Has A Start’. Renowned for their explosive live performances, there have been many changes to life in Editors since ‘An End Has A Start’ broke the band worldwide and established the then Birmingham based four piece as one of the UK’s most prominent bands of recent times.

Taking place within the unique surroundings of Marlay Park, @ The Park will provide fans with some of the best live music the venue has seen, all located within a dark intimate surroundings of the tent giving people the festival experience set to the picturesque backdrop of the Dublin mountains.
