English singer Corinne Bailey Rae will headline this year's Rock Against Homelessness concert at Dublin’s 3Olympia this May with presenter Laura Whitmore once again returning as MC for the night.
Toshín, Aimée, The White Horse Guitar Club and Isaac Butler will also play the show on Sunday 26 May with tickets priced €30.00 from 3Olympia Theatre Box Office/www.ticketmaster.ie on sale this Friday 1 March at 10am.
Presented by The Sunday Independent and sponsored by Cadbury, Arachas Insurance and Hard Rock Café, Rock Against Homelessness in aid of Focus Ireland is now in its ninth year.
Speaking about the event, Grammy Award-nominated Bailey Rae said, 'I am proud to be headlining Rock Against Homelessness 2024 to help support Focus Ireland's work challenging homelessness and changing lives."
Focus Ireland CEO Pat Dennigan said: "Sadly the homelessness crisis has deepened again as 13,318 people are now homeless and shockingly this includes nearly 4,000 children.
"The number of people homeless has shot up 14% in the last year. However, the situation would be a lot worse again without the hard work of Focus Ireland and other organisations.
"Rock Against Homelessness helps us to achieve our goals and for this we are grateful."
The event has previously hosted shows by Glen Hansard and The Boomtown Rats, Imelda May and Dermot Kennedy, Fontaines D.C., Pillow Queens and Aslan, and Kojaque and Damien Dempsey.
