How was it for you? Irish Examiner writer Eoghan O'Sullivan picks his highlights of 2020 

2020 picks by Eoghan O'Sullivan (centre) include Marc Maron, Fontaines DC and Phoebe Bridgers.

Live music highlights:

I was lucky to go to Fontaines DC's Rock Against Homelessness, which featured eight acts and made some €70,000 for charity, and the Choice Prize live event, which also featured eight short sets, within two days of each other back in March. It was a bit much, really, but I've been able to dine out on the memories for the rest of the year. Northern Ireland rappers Kneecap's raucous set at the charity gig was the standout.
