Eurosonic-Noorderslag is the festival where festival bookers go to find the next big thing and is renowned for helping acts break into the international music scene.
All of the Irish acts selected will each have the opportunity to perform to an international audience of music fans and professionals.
Four Hard Working Class Heroes 2017 alumni are among those selected for ESNS 2018. Soulé, Bitch Falcon, David Keenan, and Roe all attracted the attention of ESNS booker, Oskar Strajn, when he saw them perform at this year's HWCH.
