We kicked off the road to Dingle by revealing the first five phenomenal artists bound for the St James’ Church stage: chart-topping superstar Olivia Dean, acclaimed folk trio Amble, post-punk innovators Dry Cleaning, rising indie favourites Florence Road, and introducing Irish songwriter Dove Ellis.
Now it’s time to turn things up again with the first wave of the Other Voices Jameson Music Trail. Across three days and nights, Dingle’s streets, venues, and hidden corners will come alive with wall-to-wall sound from the most exciting new names in Irish music.
Leading the charge is forward-thinking DJ and curator JWY, experimental folk songwriter Joshua Burnside, shoegaze alt-rockers Pebbledash, mysterious Limerick newcomers THEATRE, and Derry indie-rockers The Marra. Joining them are Dublin alt-rock buzz band Hotgirl, uncompromising punk poet Meryl Streek, harmony-driven West Cork collective The Kates, and tender alt-folk duo Memorial.
Also announced are trad trailblazers Córas Trio, electronic producer Bantum, folk-rockers The Fynches, hip-hop favourites Tebi Rex, and emotive songwriter Caolan Ryan. Other highlights include alt-rock outfit Delivery Service, indie-folk twins The Ocelots, ethereal folk duo The Awning, gothic folk dreamers Goldbug, fearless alt-pop voice MayKay, and cinematic folk storyteller George Houston.
Once again, we’re teaming up with Jameson Ireland for a weekend of stellar live music, good times and Dingle magic. Expect over 100 sets from Ireland’s most exciting artists across the town, plus a few surprise sets waiting to be discovered when you land in West Kerry.

Throughout the weekend, Dingle’s beloved venues will transform into intimate stages for must-see performances: John Benny’s, The Green Room, Paul Geaney’s, McCarthy’s, The Marina Inn, Barr na Sráide, O’Sullivan’s Courthouse, Kennedy’s, The Dingle Pub, Paddy Bawn Brosnan’s, An Díseart, and Bean in Dingle, and more.
Performances will be filmed as part of the 24th series of Other Voices, airing early 2026. Intimate sets from The Church of St James’ will also stream worldwide via Other Voices YouTube, with a handful of golden ticket competitions to be announced soon.
Need a lift home after the music? John Liston from Dingle Coaches has you covered with a late-night bus service running Friday, Saturday and Sunday around the Dingle Peninsula. With westbound and eastbound routes leaving from the Dingle Mart car park, it’s the easiest way to get back home after a big night out. Tickets are €10 cash only (first-come, first-served), with multiple departures through the night, so make sure to arrive early to grab your seat. Full routes and times are up now at othervoices.ie
Tickets for the intimate TV recordings at St. James’ Church are available by competition only via Other Voices and partners’ social channels. As always, performances from St. James’ will be streamed live into venues around Dingle and on the Other Voices YouTube.
The discursive strand of Other Voices, Ireland’s Edge, has announced its first wave of thought-provoking speakers. This year’s theme, Welcome Here, Kind Stranger // Fáilte Romhat, a Strainséir Shéimh, explores empathy, belonging and our shared future through conversations and performances exploring humanity, art and place. Tickets are available now via Eventbrite.
Other Voices 2025 is made possible with the support of Reed, Department of Culture, Communications and Sport, RTÉ, Walls Construction, Kerry County Council & IMRO.
