2fm and 2Xm presenter Dan Hegarty is in The Netherlands for the biggest music festival in Europe, Eurosonic where The Riptide Movement performed last night. Read Dan's update here!

Speaking to TEN Dan said, "Thursday was a busy day and night for the Irish acts at Eurosonic. Soak and All The Luck In The World played their second shows at the festival, and attracted big crowds. All Tvvins received glowing reports from their showcase at De Spieghel venue.

"2fm selected The Riptide Movement to play at this year's event, and they didn't disappoint their Eurosonic audience. You can hear highlights of their set on Cormac Battle's show no 2fm this evening. I spoke to the band just before they went on stage, and Cormac will bring you that interview too.

"Two of the standout international acts that play at the festival last night were Italian three piece JoyCut, and UK act Heymoonshaker. They've been described as 'Rock N Roll Blues Beats', but in layman's words they comprise of an incredible blues/rock guitarist and a beat boxer. The combination sounds like it couldn't possibly work, but it does - wonderfully well! They are in the process of confirming Irish dates for Summer 2015."
