More Church & IMRO Other Room Acts Announced for OV Dingle

November 28–30 | Live & Online

With just over three weeks to go, we’re buzzing to share the next wave of Church artists joining us for Other Voices Dingle 2025, along with the acts set to bring their sound IMRO Other Room.

‍
Following our first announcement of Amble, Dry Cleaning, Florence Road and Dove Ellis, we’re thrilled to welcome five more phenomenal acts bound for the Church of St James – with more still to be revealed!

Dermot Kennedy

With his powerhouse vocals and evocative songwriting, Dermot Kennedy continues to dominate international stages and hearts alike. 2025 has seen his two summer Aviva Stadium shows sell out in record time, while millions of streams and a devoted global fanbase have cemented him as one of Ireland’s leading contemporary artists. We’re thrilled to have him join us for this rare and intimate performance. 

Sorcha Richardson

Sharp, witty and emotionally precise, Sorcha Richardson has become one of Ireland’s most magnetic singer-songwriters. Her live performances blend vulnerability and confidence in equal measure, drawing listeners into her stories with quiet power. Ahead of her hotly-anticipated third studio album, expect a set full of heart, soul and razor-sharp storytelling.

The Scratch

With their raucous energy, clever songwriting and unmistakable sound, The Scratch are a band that could only come from Ireland. Blending folk traditions with the grit of metal, Conor Dockery, Cathal McKenna, Daniel Lang and Gary Regan have carved out a style that’s completely their own. Will we be surprised if their St James’ performance blows the roof clean off? No. 

We’re also dropping the first two acts bound for the IMRO Other Room, where we shine a light on some of the most intriguing and exciting acts in Ireland right now.

MOIO

Nigerian-Irish artist MOIO chases emotion in every lyric, melody and beat. A singer, songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist, he blends R&B, indie and soul with effortless ease. His 2025 Earth Day EP captures that unique fusion perfectly, marking him as one of Ireland’s most exciting new voices.

DUG 

DUG, the collaboration between Californian Jonny Pickett and Irish folk artist Lorkin O’Reilly, brings together humour, warmth and lyric-driven storytelling. Their modern take on folk draws on both American and Irish traditions, with songs like The Big Sundown, Jubilee and Have At It! showcasing a style that is emotive and uplifting in equal measure. After a stand-out set at Other Voices Cardigan last year, we’re thrilled to welcome them to Dingle. 

Performances from both St James’ Church and the IMRO Other Room will be filmed as part of the 24th series of Other Voices, set to broadcast in early 2026. Across the weekend, all Church sets will be streamed live worldwide via the Other Voices YouTube channel for a limited time, with golden ticket competitions giving lucky fans the chance to experience these intimate performances in person.

And there’s plenty more to come – stay tuned for more additions to Ireland’s Edge 2025, the Music Trail, plus info on all the other happenings across the weekend as Dingle.
