NEW JAMESON GREEN STREET STAGE DEBUTS AT OTHER VOICES
Dingle’s Green Street transforms into the Jameson Green Street Stage, one of the festival’s biggest new spaces to experience live music all weekend. The debut stage brings together an exciting mix of talent including HAAi, Mount Kimbie (DJ Set), shame, Cliffords, NiNE8 Collective, Seán McKenna (formally of The Mary Wallopers), EFÉ, Chalk, and more – celebrating the best of Irish and international music. As part of the Jameson Music Trail, the full line-up also includes April, JayaHadADream, Kean Kavanagh, and Skinner.
Ciara Brennan, Senior Brand Manager for Jameson, Irish Distillers, said: “Other Voices has always represented the heart of Irish music and creativity, and we’re honoured to once again be part of it. This year’s Jameson line-up showcases not only incredible talent but also the spirit of collaboration and connection that defines both Jameson and the festival. We can’t wait to bring people together for another unforgettable weekend.”
