New for 2025, all festival wristband holders will have the opportunity to attend St Mary’s Church performances on a first-come, first-served basis. Each artist will have a designated slot, with the Church cleared between sets to give as many people as possible the chance to attend. No separate wristbands are required – just join the queue for the artists you’d like to see and experience the magic inside St Mary’s.
Festival sets will feature live performances and DJ sets from late afternoon into the early hours, with Mwldan serving as the late-night venue as well as the festival hub for tickets and information. Further details regarding specific artists, venues, and performance schedules will be released in October alongside the Other Voices Live festival app.
The Clebran and Clebran on The Trail sessions return for 2025, with powerful conversations, thought-provoking conversations and fresh ideas that explore the issues shaping our world today. The full Clebran programme will be revealed in early September – keep an eye on our socials.
Wristbands are available for just £65, granting access to all Music Trail performances, Clebran sessions, and Church performances (subject to capacity). A limited number of tickets are available for under-18s at £10.
