Other Voices in Dingle has returned for a showstopping weekend of incredible music, stories and fun. Taking place from the 28-30 November, artists will head to the edge of Ireland and take centre stage at St James' Church.
The showcasing event puts up and coming Irish artists and creatives alongside bigger msuicians that are Grammy winners, Glastonbury headliners and global superstars. To snag a slot at the festival has become a right of passage for many Irish artists, with the likes of Dermot Kennedy, Fontaines DC and CMAT all having played here before.
With the likes of Maverick Sabre and Fionn Regan headlining the event last year, the festival had a tough time lining up beating that, but we think they have knocked it out of the park with their biggest line up yet.
Olivia Dean is this years headlining act, and there is no surprise as to why. Olivia has shot to fame after having her song It isn't perfect but it might be feature on the latest Bridget Jones film, Mad About the Boy. Her sophomore album, The Art of Loving has received critical acclaim, reaching number one on the Irish Official Albums Chart.
Olivia's song, The Man I need, was the one of the biggest songs of the summer, dominating the charts and going viral across social media. Having reached the milestone of becoming the first female solo artist to achieve both a number one album and song on the Irish charts, her performance is one you'll want to tune in to.
The 26 year old will be the first British singer attending the festival since Harry Styles' performance since 2022, and the first female British performer since Adele in 2021. Known for her enigmatic stage presence and powerful belts, Olivia's Dingle debut will be a standout moment during the weekend.
Irish folk trio Amble have only been together for two years, but their music has captured the hearts of thousands worldwide. Hailing from Leitrim, Sligo and Longford, Ross McNerny, Robbie Cunningham and Oisin McCaffrey have toured across the globe, opening up global stars like Hozier, Ed Sheeran and Olivia Rodrigo.
And if you think you haven't heard of them before, chances are you have heard their song Lonely Island, a tune about Irish folk living away from home that went viral on social media and has over 20 million streams. Reverie, their debut album, shot straight to number one in Ireland and their newest EP Hand Me Downs is currently topping the charts.
The groups storytelling songs and harmonising voices will be a performance that St James' Church will welcome.
Launching as one of Ireland's most exciting new bads, Florence Road will debut at Other Voices Dingle performing songs from their newest mixtape, Fall Back.
Childhood friends, Lily, Emma, Ailbhe, and Hannah have found their niche with their sound. Hailing from Wicklow, the band are inspired by the likes of The Cranberries, Wolf Alice and have had early co signs from Olivia Rodrigo and beabadoobee.
With their shows being described as raw and impossible to ignore, their performance on St James; Church stage will showcase talent that is once in a generation.
Other acts that were recently announced were Dove Ellis, Dry Cleaning and Khakikid, with their performances being recorded and will be aired early next year.
The intimate sets will be streamed live on the Oher Voices Youtube, with a small amount of tickets to attend the weekend to be up for grabs through competitions in the coming weeks.
Founder of Other Voices Philip King aims the festival will help celebrate all the amazing creatives Ireland has. 'Other Voices 2025 will again celebrate the amazing diversity of Irish voices that are about to happen. Along with these artists The Church of St James’ will play host to some of the finest bands and acts making music across the world right now.'
