2025 is Olivia Dean’s year.
She has had a stratospheric rise to fame this year and become a household name.
Her second album, The Art Of Loving, dropped earlier this year and has quickly become a sensation around Ireland.
So it’s safe to say that the news she will be performing at this year’s Other Voices is pretty exciting.
She is set to take to the stage in the iconic venue of The Church in the heart of Dingle.
Olivia is the first British artist since Harry Styles in 2022, and the first British female artist since Adele in 2021 to perform at the beloved festival.
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.
Also set to wow audiences is Irish band, Amble, who has also been having an incredible year.
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.
Another Irish group that is having a great year is Florence Road, who has also been announced to perform at Other Voices.
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.
Irish singer Dove Ellis and London post-punk band Dry Cleaning have also been announced to take part in this year’s lineup.
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.
Other Voices is back in Dingle from November 28th to 30th for its 24th edition. Find out more here.
