Alas, the wait is over as Other Voices returns to RTÉ later this month for a brand new series of spine-tingling performances and thoughtful conversations.
Presented by Huw Stephens and MayKay, the lineup this year will feature the incredible talents of some of the most exciting Irish and international artists making music right now.
Some names you can expect to see include Paolo Nutini, Loyle Carner, Inhaler, Stella Donnelly, The Big Moon, SELLÓ and many more.
The series kicks off on February 16th when we will see Paolo Nutini travel to Dingle to play songs from his acclaimed new album Last Night in the Bittersweet.

As well as the above, the series will also showcase new talents such as Galway rapper Celaviedmai, alt-rock act Kynsy, and the experimental jazz collective Bricknasty.
Speaking about the music festival, the Other Voices founder Philip King said: “In this, our twenty-first year, we host and celebrate a remarkable diversity of brilliant new Irish music from every part of the Island.”
“Artists in Ireland right now are producing, making, minting and recording some of the best music ever made here.”
“It’s a delight to host some of these artists in the beautiful town of Dingle, West Kerry, right at the edge of Europe,” he added.
While Keith Johnson, Director of Marketing & Membership of IMRO said: “Other Voices has grown into a much treasured and unique platform that provides Irish music creators with an ideal opportunity to reach a global audience with their creative talent… long may it continue”.
Other Voices begins on Thursday 16 February at 11pm on RTÉ2 and will be available internationally on the RTÉ Player.
