They will be joined by The Animators; Ugandan folk singer Justine Nantale; Soul-Folk-Alternative artist Yong Buddha; Nigerian drumming group Talking Drums; Groovement Soul DJs; and White Collar Boy (DJ Set).
Radio presenter Dan Hegarty will MC proceedings for the second year in a row.
Speaking ahead of the gig, Joanne McGarry, Campaigns Officer with Trócaire, said:
“This is the fourth year of TrócaireLive and we’re delighted to have such a great line-up of musicians on board to kick off the summer festival season.
"The specially commissioned street art pieces are taking pride of place in the roof garden and we’ll have a photography exhibition inside the venue too.
"We’ll also have some lovely food on offer from Argentino Grill, so there really will be something for everyone.
“We’ve had a huge turn-out in previous years and, with the strong line-up for this year’s event, we’re hoping for the same again. It promises to be a great event.”
