Handing the keys to a new generation
Live & Rising is reclaiming Irish pub culture for a modern Ireland by turning pubs into platforms for emerging talent in music, art, food and sport.
Live & Rising
Music, pubs and pints of Guinness; all three are a part of the cultural fabric of Ireland. But for a new generation of young Irish drinkers, the old scene (and the old pint) didn’t feel like it represented or reflected them. This 5-year activation platform for Guinness Ireland changed that. Each event is a one-off cultural experience, not orchestrated by the brand, but curated by the artists themselves.
We launched with a perfomance by Dermot Kennedy on the roof of the Dublin Storehouse, followed by a day of surprise pub gigs across the city by Kennedy, featuring special up and coming musical guests.
