Festival goers will be treated to a performance from rising Cork musician Talos, showcasing songs from his acclaimed debut album Wild Alee. Irish music veteran David Kitt brings his inventive electronic project New Jackson to the Other Voices stage, while grunge-rock trio Bitch Falcon guarantee big riffs and powerhouse vocals.
British electropop artist PIXXmakes her Other Voices debut as well as hotly tipped R&B quartet Supersilly. Berlin based singer-songwriter Tom Adams (who shares a manager with Nils Frahm) joins us for his first Irish performance and poet Stephen James Smith returns to Other Voices with thought provoking words and distinct Dublin humour.
