Other Voices Dingle – add CHALK, Jessy Blakemore, Travy & Shame to St. James’ Church Line-Up

All roads lead to West Kerry for Other Voices 2025, taking place in Dingle this weekend, November 28–30. We’re thrilled to reveal the final artists joining the hallowed stage of St. James’ Church, completing this year’s intimate and unmissable line-up. 

Belfast duo CHALK deliver electrifying, techno-infused industrial punk. Since forming in 2022, they’ve risen at breakneck speed, selling out their debut UK/IRE tour and earning support slots with Fontaines D.C., IDLES and Sprints. Their acclaimed Conditions Trilogy blends gritty techno, post-punk and jagged guitars into a dark, visceral live experience.

London newcomer JESSY BLAKEMORE brings her intimate alt-R&B and glowing vocals. Her debut EP if you need me, i’m a few missed calls away has quickly marked her as one to watch, pairing tender songwriting with warmth and honesty that feel instantly timeless.

Nigerian-born, Ireland-raised rapper TRAVY has made waves on the Irish charts with DOGHOUSE and Full Circle, debuting at No.1 and No.2. His 2025 solo project SPOOKY also hit No.1, cementing him as one of Ireland’s most consistent and exciting voices in modern Irish rap. 

Still in their twenties, the five childhood friends of SHAME have grown exponentially, pairing ambitious ideas with the technical chops to match. With several legendary live shows and three critically-acclaimed albums under their belts, their bold new record Cutthroat pushes their sound even further.

They join DERMOT KENNEDY, SORCHA RICHARDSON, DOVE ELLIS, DRY CLEANING, AMBLE, THE SCRATCH and FLORENCE ROAD, across the weekend at St James’ Church. 

All Church performances will be streamed live worldwide via Other Voices YouTube.
