Having announced its return to West Wales earlier this year, Other Voices Cardigan has revealed the first wave of incredible live acts set to take to the festival’s stages from 26 – 28 October.
Italian alt-pop sensation Sans Soucis, acclaimed Irish singer-songwriter Susan O’Neill, award-winning Welsh rockers Adwaith and Machynlleth-born triple harpist Cerys Hafana have all been announced as the first of this year’s headliners.
They will all perform live sets in the intimate St Mary’s Church in Cardigan, West Wales, with more headline artists to be announced in the coming weeks. Presented by veteran Welsh broadcaster Huw Stephens, Other Voices Cardigan will collapse global distance, bringing all of the headline performances live to the world for free via YouTube and streaming live to a cinema screen in Mwldan.
Beyond the Church performances, the picturesque town of Cardigan will play host to a Music Trail in 11 venues over the festival’s three days, showcasing the very best handpicked established and emerging musical talent from Ireland and Wales. In an eclectic and diverse mix of more than 35 artists, festival goers can enjoy a journey of musical discovery that celebrates hip-hop, folk, rock, electronica, RnB, punk, electronica, grime, soul and everything in between, reflecting the exciting vibrancy of the two nations’ musical output
Other Voices Cardigan is staged with the support and investment of Welsh Government and The Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media. The event is produced by South Wind Blows in partnership with Mwldan and Triongl. The event will be filmed by Triongl for later broadcast on S4C and RTÉ.
