    Phantom 105.2 and MusicMaker present I-Con's Next Big Thing at Andrew's Lane Theatre on the third Friday of every month.

    This exciting Battle of the Bands style competition is brought to you in conjunction with MusicMaker and Phantom's own dedicated Irish Music show I-Con, which is presented by Cathal Funge and airs every Wednesday between 10 and 12pm.

    The competition will take place over 5 months, with four acts performing in front of a panel of guest judges at each of the five heats. The heats will take place on the following dates:

    One act from each heat will progress to the Final on Friday, December 11th at Andrew's Lane.
