Other Voices: Home at the Guinness Storehouse 2026

Sunday, 8 November 2026 | Guinness Storehouse, Dublin 8

From St. James’s Gate to St. James’ Church, the road to 25 years of Other Voices begins at Home.

This November, we return to the Guinness Storehouse for the seventh edition of Other Voices: Home at the Guinness Storehouse, bringing an intimate night of live music, song and discovery to the heart of Dublin 8.

As we look ahead to our 25th edition in Dingle, Other Voices Home marks the final stop on the musical pilgrimage, celebrating the extraordinary artists, creativity and community that have shaped Other Voices over the past quarter-century.

The first artists announced are Copenhagen post-punk trailblazers Iceage, Texas-based producer and multi-instrumentalist Quiet Light, and West Kerry concertina virtuoso Cormac Begley. The brilliant MayKay returns as host, guiding us through an evening of music and conversation, with more amazing acts to be announced soon.

“Singing Our Way Home” 

‍

Philip King, Founder of Other Voices, said: 

“As we head towards year's end and the nights draw in, our thoughts turn toward Home - towards warmth, safety, family, community and to the things that sustain us. Home to the music and songs that transport and move us, that we find ourselves returning to time and time again, like old friends. Home to the traditions that inform and nourish us, that give us a sense of who we are and where we come from. 

Other Voices at The Guinness Storehouse offers a moment of convergence and harmony, amidst the coming and going of things. A moment to reflect on what has passed, what is passing and what is still to come is a moment to raise our voices, to come together and to sing our way Home.”

Catherine Toolan, Managing Director, Diageo Irish Brand Homes, added:

“Other Voices: Home is always such a special night for us at the Guinness Storehouse. There is something really powerful about bringing incredible artists and audiences together here in the heart of the Liberties, and this year feels particularly special as we help mark the beginning of the journey to 25 years of Other Voices in Dingle.
I love the connection between St. James’s Gate and St. James’ Church – two very different places, but both rooted in community, culture and bringing people together. We’re incredibly proud to play a small part in that journey, and even more so knowing that every ticket sold will support the Guinness Dublin 8 Community Fund and the community we are so proud to call home.”

Iceage

‍

Marking their first Irish show since 2018, Copenhagen five-piece Iceage lead the first wave of artists announced for Other Voices: Home 2026.

Formed by childhood friends in 2008, Iceage have spent nearly two decades pushing beyond the boundaries of post-punk, noise rock and expansive melodic rock. From their ferocious punk beginnings, the band have evolved into something altogether more widescreen and unpredictable, pairing Elias Bender Rønnenfelt’s brooding, poetic vocals with snarling guitars, sweeping melodies and moments of unexpected tenderness.

Their latest album, For Love of Grace & the Hereafter, sees them venture further beyond genre than ever. The band will also join Fontaines D.C. as main support on their 2027 North American tour. Described by Pitchfork as “a moving target still” and by The Guardian as “gloriously untamed”, Iceage continue to make music that is as volatile as it is beautiful.

Quiet Light

‍

Quiet Light (AKA Riya Mahesh) is a Texas-based producer, singer, and multi-instrumentalist. Her songs are, in her own words, “dream sequences” — her Lynchian, liminal electropop sounds are both frozen in time and built to withstand its weathering, weaving sharp, sparse songwriting with gossamer strands of ambient, electronic, and folk. Her 2020 self-titled debut EP Quiet Light foregrounded a virtuosic run of independent, self-produced records, including 2023’s Blue Angel Sparkling Silver and Fourth of July, Going Nowhere (2024), and Pure Hearts (2025). Along the way, she’s earned critical acclaim from outlets like The FADER, been co-signed by Iggy Pop, and provided direct support for Cameron Winter, Erika de Casier, Nilüfer Yanya, and Chanel Beads on tour. Now, with her forthcoming mixtape Blue Angel Sparkling Silver 2, her debut release on True Panther (Oklou, Jawnino, Grace Ives), she proves she’s a generational voice that’s here to stay. The tape plays out like a dreamy smash cut of the places, faces, and influences that brought Mahesh here as she delivers her most assured project yet, following her own inner compass to new, revelatory heights. As she puts it: “This record is for people who dream about what their life could be like.”

Cormac Begley

‍

Cormac Begley is a concertina player from the West Kerry Gaeltacht, rooted in the musical traditions of his family, Corca Dhuibhne and Clare. Playing bass, baritone, treble and piccolo concertinas, he brings a distinctive voice to Irish traditional music, exploring the full range of the instrument.

Named Best Folk Instrumentalist at the 2022 RTÉ Folk Awards, his solo album B was chosen as The Irish Times’ Album of the Year 2022. His performances include sold-out concerts at Vicar Street, at the National Concert Hall and Cork Opera House, and international tours as a central musical presence in Michael Keegan-Dolan and Teaċ Daṁsa’s MÁM.

He has recorded with a range of musical artists including Lisa O’Neill, Ye Vagabonds, Lankum, Brian Eno, U2 and Dermot Kennedy. His latest album, Into the Loam, is a collaboration with fiddle and viola player Liam O’Connor.

Cormac is also the founder and Artistic Director of Airt, an arts centre in the West Kerry Gaeltacht, bringing musicians, artists and audiences together through intimate concerts, workshops, residential courses and artist residencies.

MayKay returns as host

Returning to guide the evening is the brilliant MayKay, whose warmth, wit and unmistakable presence have made her a much-loved part of the Other Voices: Home experience.

With more artists still to be announced, this November promises another special gathering at the Home of Guinness, celebrating the music, culture and community that continue to bring us together.

The Road Home Begins Here

‍

Twenty-five years ago, Other Voices began in a small church on the edge of Ireland. This November, the journey towards its 25th edition in Dingle begins at its Dublin home.

Fittingly, the road runs from St. James’s Gate in the heart of the Liberties to St. James’ Church on the edge of the Atlantic. As the nights draw in, Other Voices: Home is a chance to gather in celebration of Irish culture, the creativity carrying it forward and the community that makes it possible.

Harping On: New Music & Conversation

‍

Can't wait until November? Revisit the music and conversations of last year's Other Voices: Home with Harping On, a four-part series created by Other Voices and the Guinness Storehouse.

Hosted by MayKay in the beautiful Guinness Storehouse vinyl snug, the series brings together intimate conversations and special stripped-back performances from Lisa Hannigan, SPRINTS, Brògeal and Rachel Chinouriri. Across four episodes, the artists reflect on the records that shaped them, the Irish musicians they admire and their favourite Other Voices memories.

Watch the first episode featuring Brògeal now from 3pm today here.
