Other Voices, Ireland's iconic music series, makes its comeback with its 24th series.
The show is a six-part showcase of music from Ireland and further afield. Shot in Dingle and Wales, the latest season features performances, interviews and special moments from some of the most compelling Irish and international acts.
Annie MacManus, Huw Stephens and MayKay are back as presenters of the programme, leading viewers through performances from artists including Dermot Kennedy, Amble, Dry Cleaning and Shame. Across the series, viewers will see performances from shame, Jessy Blakemore, Sorcha Richardson, CHALK, Miles Kane, Travy, The Scratch and Dry Cleaning.
The opening episode of the series highlights folk trio Amble's remarkable year as their album Reverie became Ireland's most-streamed album of 2025. It also includes appearances from Florence Road, Dove Ellis and MOIO.
Former President of Ireland Michael D. Higgins makes a special appearance alongside Myles O'Reilly to honour the tradition of the spoken word.
Host MayKay said: “There just is not another show on TV, anywhere, like it. Every year feels like the first year again! I always think I'll get used to it - to the excitement, the nerves, the anticipation. But that's the beauty of it. When you have brand new acts, or acts that you've seen grow over the years, or a former President of Ireland doing spoken word, in the most beautiful town on earth, how could you ever get used to it. Dove Ellis and The Scratch are my top two this year, but really, it was wall to wall brilliance and joy all round, as usual.”
The series spotlights Ireland's rising talent through the Irish Music Rights Organisation (IMRO) Other Room and also features Other Voices' recent trip to West Wales, showcasing Ye Vagabonds, KhakiKid, RÓIS and more.The IMRO Other Room features AnnieDog, Seán McKeon, MOIO and Irish-American folk duo DUG.

Philip King, Founder of Other Voices, said: “We feel very privileged at Other Voices to continue to capture the continuing stream of remarkable new and diverse Irish music from Dove Ellis to Amble, from MOIO to Seán McKeon and from Florence Road to The Scratch. This year Dermot Kennedy came home to Dingle as did Sorcha Richardson. Michael D Higgins celebrated the power of the spoken word and Belfast’s CHALK took the road West and for sure the Church of St James is reverberating with their power and passion. This music offers hope for the future and gives us the energy to keep on keeping on.”
Other Voices begins Thursday 26 February at 11pm on RTÉ2, with all episodes available worldwide on RTÉ Player.
