Hot Press
Launched in 1977, Hot Press has been among the most important musical, cultural and political influences in Ireland over the intervening 40+ years, and one of the most highly respected music magazines on the planet.
As punk and new wave exploded across the world, Hot Press broke the Irish journalistic mould. Adopting an uninhibited, radical style. it became a breeding ground for some of Ireland’s finest journalists and creatives. Among its columnists was Michael D. Higgins, now the President of Ireland.
It is an essential part of the Hot Press mission to support and nurture Irish artists. Hot Press has championed all of the major emerging Irish artists – from U2, with whom they forged a close relationship, and Sinead O’Connor to Hozier and Fontaines D.C.
Hot Press has been at the forefront of the campaign for sexual freedom in Ireland and across the world. The equality agenda remains absolutely central to Hot Press.
