ECHO & THE BUNNYMEN TOP BILL AT BANK HOLIDAY MUSIC MARATHON
Now only one short month away, Meteor Camden Crawl Dublin is please to announce that seminal legends, ECHO & THE BUNNYMEN will take to the stage in Dublin for the first time in almost 2 years to exclusively perform at the 2013 May Bank Holiday festival. Formed in 1978, the Liverpudlian post punk band quickly rose to fame with their debut album Crocodiles and subsequently released ten further albums to date despite a six year split in 1988. With a endless string of hits such as ‘The Killing Moon', ‘Lips Like Sugar' and ‘The Cutter', The Button Factory will certainly be the sing-a-long hotspot of the Crawl's Saturday night. It will also be a tight squeeze as this intimate appearance will be in high demand and festival ticket holders are advise to arrive early to assure entrance.
New Young Pony Club have also been added to the bill for the Friday 3rd May Launch Party Event at Whelans. They join the bill which already includes Montreal's Dirty Beaches, London's Tropics and Big Deal and Cork's Meteor Choice Awards nominees Windings. Tickets purchased for Dirty Beaches cancelled show on 8th May at Workman's Club will be honoured for this show.
In addition to the Bunnymen coup and on the other end of the spectrum, an additional stage curated by Nialler 9 has been added to accommodate some fantastic new Irish talent, including the mysterious Adultrock, intricately layered sonics from Come On Live Long, dark ambient dubstep producers Ghosts, Cork's Hunk, the raw and quirky presence of Liza Flume, Slow Skies' melodic folk pop and down tempo electronica from Dublin's Terriers.

COMEDY CRAWL LINE UP REVEALED

Unlimited entrance to all comedy shows in included upon presentation of Meteor Camden Crawl festival wristband.
Hosted by Bankers Comedy Club, theirs is a top comedy line up showcasing Ireland's rising stars including Chortle Student Comedy Awards nominee Colm Tyrell, regular Des Bishop support Christiane O'Mahoney and Marcus O'Laoire fresh from the Jim Jeffries comedy tour, with "Mr Comedy Smackdown" himself Chris Kent closing the early set. The 9pm gig turns the volume right up with the outrageous headliner Niamh Marron (finalist Funny Women 2012) supported by the comedy genius of Tom ‘The Bear' O'Mahoney (Republic of Telly), the flamboyant Al Porter, and the intelligent one, Darren Maher. Both sets are hosted by resident MC Peter O'Byrne.
Danny Dowling (TV3's Come Dine With Me) brings the late night hit of the Galway Comedy Festival BOOM! Live Comedy For Dead People to The Swan for a one off outing. With dark comedy to match his dark hair, Ronan Grace launches the early show followed by sketch from Giles Brody and Colin Chadwick. Alison Spittle (Republic of Telly) and the storytelling Tommie James lead the way to crescendo in a cornucopia of one liners from Trevor Browne. All is held together by MC Danny Dowling and mixed up with big tunes and good times.
‘Uncurable Laughter' sweeps over The Swan when the creator of ComedyDoctors.ie, MC Greg Marks presents the late night set. Star of the Love/Hate series and former boxer, Padser Murray, proves why he is one of Ireland's one's to watch. Whilst the country's busiest improviser and Edinburgh record holder, Gary Lynch supports the evening's closer Tommy Nicholson, godfather of the Irish comedy circuit.
