The headline event will be held in Dublin, Ireland and aims to give Jameson fans the ultimate, alternative St Patrick’s experience.

Jameson is also taking over streets and venues in major cities such as Prague, Buenos Aires, Mumbai and Stockholm to give locals a taste of true Irish St Patrick’s festivities.

This year’s Jameson St Patrick’s Live celebrations sees the return of the annual Jameson Live Global Broadcast, where radio stations from around the world descend on Dublin to join in the festivities and broadcast their shows live from the Old Jameson Distillery in Dublin. 43 radio stations from 10 countries will broadcast and capture the bustling atmosphere of Dublin.

Once again, Jameson is supporting its St Patrick’s Day activities with the release of a special limited edition bottle, which will be available to on trade, off trade and travel retail customers. Created by glass artist, David Smith, the 2013 design evokes a classic back bar mirror, in recognition of the iconic glass etching and ornate gilding that can be found in Dublin pubs where Jameson has been served for generations. The limited edition bottle is available in 24 countries around the world from February 2013.
