The first wave of acts have been revealed for Other Voices’ second annual festival in Ballina.

Other Voices returns to the town of Ballina once again on Friday 28 and Saturday 29 February 2020. The ancient walls of St. Michael’s Church will host a number of performances from both Irish and international artists.

The second year of festivities in Ballina will see Elbow, Denise Chaila, Skinny Living and California native Jesca Hoop all perform in the intimate confines of St. Michael’s Church.

It’s rare to see such artists in such a confined space that breeds a special atmosphere.

Tickets for the St. Michael’s Church TV recording performances cannot be purchased and will be given away through competitions in national and local radio, press and online. All ticket competitions will be announced in advance at www.othervoices.ie

Beyond St Michael’s Church, the Other Voices Ballina Music Trail will feature more than 30 free gigs taking place in various venues across Ballina over the Other Voices Festival Weekend. The Music Trail will feature an exciting and diverse line-up of performers, musicians, DJs and bands, raising the roofs of pubs and venues across Ballina on February 28th and 29th. Guaranteed quality new sounds for all ears and 100% free to enjoy. Venues and acts performing on the Music Trail will be announced in the coming weeks.
