3. Hear Sprints
What: Indie & post-punk
Where: Rotondes, 3 Pl. des Rotondes, 2448 Bonnvoie
When: Friday, 15 August at 8.30pm – info & tickets
2024 was quite the year for Sprints. The Dublin band unveiled their Top 20 debut album Letter To Self, opened for IDLES and Pixies, and delivered feverishly talked-about sets at Glastonbury, End Of The Road and All Together Now. Then, in September, they harnessed the adrenaline of non-stop gigging into new material and released a new single, Feast, which reinvigorated Sprints’ vision entirely. All of this has led to them becoming an essential new name in contemporary rock.

Where: rue de l'Alzette, 4010 Esch-sur-Alzette
