Firestone Live 2018 winners Modernlove. return to Vantastival in 2019
Drogheda four-piece Modernlove. won the 2018 Firestone BOTB and headlined the Firestone Live stage on the Sunday night of the festival.
Modernlove.‘s synth- and sample-driven sound is heavily influenced by ’80s acts like Prince and Michael Jackson. They’ve supported Hudson Taylor and The Academic in the past and are definitely a band whose star is in the ascendant, named as one of the Hot Press Hot for 2019 Irish Acts. You can catch them on the Main Stage at this year’s Vantastival.
