Warhol, Groove Armada, Dizzee Rascal at IMMA

Thanks to Gina at the SOLOMON GALLERY gave us the heads-up on this one.

SOME DAYS NEVER END is a series of gigs from POD Concerts (John Reynolds and gang are unstoppable these days) to be held in the fantastic grounds of the Irish Museum of Modern Art in Dublin during October

It'll feature THREE tents. One tent with loads of music: the likes of Groove Armada with Dizzee Rascal (October 25), Jose Gonzalez with Duke Special (October 26), Pet Shop Boys (October 27), what’s left of the Buena Vista Social Club with Kila (October 30) and The Frames with John Cale (October 31).

Another tent will recreate Andy Warhol’s Silver Factory. A hip New York City hangout for the Warhol set with artists, musicians and creatives - decorated in tin foil and silver paint the Silver Factory hummed day and night gaining a reputation as a centre for hedonism and decadence. From 1964 to 1968 the Factory provided a physical and conceptual framework for a broad range of activity that pushed the boundaries of what art production can be.

Over the course of the fest, this tent will feature screenings of Warhol arty flicks and other works and installations. All of this Warhiolism is in conjunction with Sligo’s Model Arts and Niland Gallery who are presenting their own Warhol exhibition from October 6 to December 22

And a third tent will feature food and drink.
