    I'm heading down to, should be a good one.

    Not sure if I missed an announcement about tickets or not, I applied in the lottery but I assume I've missed out at this stage?

    I believe once you've applied or registered on the Other Voices site you'll be in with a chance up until the weekend.

    Also keep an ear out on radio and their facebook and website etc....

    Anybody got recommendations for pubs that will have some possible music in them?

    First time heading down after many failed attempts, any tips or advice would be welcome!

    I understand that wristbands have to be collected before you can get in to various venues, anyone know how limited these are likely to be? Will be traveling after work on Friday so will have to decide how quickly we need to rush down.

    How come there is no Pink Floyd or Tom Waits in this lot.

    Mount Kimbie and Django Django are pretty big, but yeah no Elbow type names this year.

    Really looking forward to Wyvern Lingo, Bitch Falcon, RSAG and Dermot Kennedy

    Heading down to this on Saturday, I know the main gigs in the church are limited capacity so not expecting to get in there over the weekend, but how does the music trail work? First come first serve or do you need tickets/wristbands for these events? What do you need to register for on eventbrite?

    Yeah you need to register in advance to get the wristbands. Pubs are then open until they reach capacity for people with wristbands. (I think).

    No clue when the church tickets get announced.

    Church tickets would only be for people in the know or those with connections. People who know the organisers, local politicians, music journos etc.
    And a small handful would have won tickets in competitions. But if you won tickets, you would know about it by now.

    What did people think? 6 hour drive from Dublin is the only thing holding me back from going again next year.

    Highlights for me were Pillow Queens & Hiva Oa... and Mango was actually a bit of craic.

    Missed Le boom and Slow Riot due to clashes so will hopefully catch them another time

    Great weekend, drive from Cork was much more manageable, I actually appreciate it's out of the way from the masses, means that the quality attending will be better.

    My highlights were RSAG Friday night in McCarthys, Le Boom, Slow Riot & Bitch Falcon Saturday in An Chonair, and a trad session in the Court House.

    Shameful out of An Droichead Beag putting a cover charge on the door, all the Other voices gigs and streaming were pulled from there for the rest of the weekend.

    Really? Bad form.

    I'm not going to miss this next year.

    Almost a 4 hr drive from laois myself and I’m gonna be honest and say that I was somewhat dissatisfied from a Music standpoint

    We had a great weekend and Dingle is a beautiful town but there was only 1 or 2 acts would see again. I think that Other Voices book acts that are under the radar hype acts without a proven track record and it showed in the live performances ( apart from Le Boom and a handful of others who connected with the crowd)

    Still great to experience it and I’ll definitely head to Dingle again but maybe not to Other Voices

    Was my first time at Other Voices and I was really impressed, would definitely go to it again although it is a long drive (especially when we only went for one night!). Made the most of the 30 hours or so that I was down there, thought Le Boom, Cinema & Sorcha Richardson were all really good, saw a band called Come on Live Long who were pretty good as well. Had immense craic in Dick Macks for Today FM on the Saturday night as well.
