Other Voices Dingle 2025 – announces Olivia Dean, Amble, Dry Cleaning, Florence Road & Dove Ellis

Other Voices is back in Dingle from November 28th–30th for its 24th edition – three magical days of music, song and story on the edge of Ireland. Today, we’re lifting the lid on the first wave of incredible artists bound for the hallowed stage of St James’ Church.

It’s no exaggeration to say that 2025 has been the year of OLIVIA DEAN. With Mercury and BRIT nominations, and a smash hit on the Bridget Jones’ Mad About the Boy soundtrack, Dean has skyrocketed. Her highly anticipated sophomore album, The Art Of Loving, has given her a first-ever #1 on Ireland’s Official Albums Chart, while her hit single ‘Man I Need’ continues to top Ireland’s Official Singles Chart for a second week. This milestone makes her the first female solo artist this year to achieve a simultaneous No.1 Album AND No.1 single in Ireland. She is the first British artist since Harry Styles in 2022, and the first British female artist since Adele in 2021. Having sold out two headline dates in Dublin’s Fairview Park in minutes, her irresistible live presence and star power are undeniable. Her Dingle debut is set to be one of the standout moments of the weekend. 

This year has seen AMBLE rise to new heights. Their debut album Reverie shot straight to #1 in Ireland, earning plaudits from NPR, Rolling Stone, and Stereogum. In just over two years together, Robbie Cunningham, Ross McNerney, and Oisin McCaffrey have gone from quitting their day jobs to selling 100,000 headline tickets, hitting 115 million streams, and selling out three 3Arena shows this December. With support slots for Hozier, Olivia Rodrigo, and Ed Sheeran lined up, plus their new EP Hand Me Downs recently released, Amble’s momentum is unstoppable. Their track Lonely Island showcases the trio’s harmonies and heartfelt storytelling, giving a taste of what’s to come on the St. James’ stage. 

London post-punk innovators DRY CLEANING bring their razor-sharp lyricism and mesmerising stage presence to St James’ Church this November. Uncompromising, witty, and utterly compelling, their live shows have made them one of the most distinctive acts of the decade. Their St James’ Church performance will be a masterclass in tension, release, and lyrical precision. The band’s Cate Le Bon-produced third album, Secret Love, arrives on 9th January 2026 – watch the hypnotic new video Hit My Head All Day.  

Wicklow’s indie pop quartet FLORENCE ROAD are rising fast. Childhood friends Lily, Emma, Ailbhe, and Hannah have been grafting since their teenage shed-rehearsal days, creating a sound that is equal parts Cranberries nostalgia and Wolf Alice grit. After early co-signs from Olivia Rodrigo and beabadoobee, their Fall Back mixtape has marked them as one of Ireland’s most exciting new bands. Their live shows are raw, urgent and impossible to ignore. Check out their track Goodnight showcasing Florence Road as one of the defining bands of their generation.

From the west of Ireland comes DOVE ELLIS – a singular voice weaving together poetic lyrics, rich vocals, and distinctive saxophone. His debut single, To the Sandals has attracted critical acclaim for its unique sound and lyrical depth. Ellis will embark on a U.S. tour supporting Geese this autumn before making his truly special St James’ debut. 

Performances will be captured as part of the 24th series of Other Voices, which will be broadcast on television in early 2026. Across the weekend, all these intimate sets from The Church of St James’ will be streamed live to the world via Other Voices YouTube for a limited time, with a small number of golden tickets up for grabs through competitions to be announced soon.

And that’s just the beginning…full details on all Other Voices strands, including its conversation series, Ireland’s Edge 2025, will be released in the coming weeks. Expect Dingle’s streets, venues, and hidden corners to burst into life with hundreds of performances, celebrating Ireland’s musical heartbeat in all its wild diversity.
