Galway International Arts Festival and Róisín Dubh Present

Bell X1

With special guests Soda Blonde

Get set to ‘Blink in the Light’ as one of Ireland’s most popular bands Bell X1 return to Galway International Arts Festival.


Bell X1 will make a welcome return to the Heineken Big Top on Friday 28 July in what is sure to be one of the best live gigs of the summer.

Known for their musical versatility and experimentation, Bell X1’s studio albums have incorporated alternative, indie, hard rock, post-punk, acoustic, lo-fi, folk-rock, ballad, pop, synth-pop, new wave and electronica.

Audiences can expect to hear songs from their much anticipated new album as well as hits from the band’s critically-acclaimed albums, which include Rocky Took a Lover, The Great Defector, The End is Nigh and Flame amongst others.

Bell X1’s work has been recognised and rewarded, with four of their albums nominated for the Choice Music Prize for Irish Album of the Year and three debuting at #1 on the Irish Album Charts.

Bell X1 are Dave Geraghty, Paul Noonan and Dominic Phillips.
