Hozier, Imelda May, Denise Chaila, Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova are among the acts to feature in Uprising, a new music show set to debut on Friday night on Virgin Media One and Virgin Media Player at 9.00pm.

Produced in association with Hot Press, the four-part series is presented by Katja Mia, with Hot Press deputy editor Stuart Clark as roving interviewer.

Uprising is filmed at The Complex in Dublin's North inner-city and will feature performances and discussions on issues around the music industry, including the rise of A.I., how musicians mind their mental health and how different artists fell in love with music, as they reveal the first gig they went to - and a song they wish they wrote.

The Academic

Nell Mescal, Pillow Queens, The Coronas, Picture This and The Academic will also appear on the show.

Uprising kicks off with a performance from Westmeath indie band The Academic, Cork singer-songwriter, Lyra, rapper Celaviedmai, and Oscar winners Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova of The Swell Season.
