 This year's St Mary's Church line-up will feature Glastonbury Emerging Talent winners Westside Cowboy, whose raw, poetic indie rock has been turning heads; the much-beloved Ye Vagabonds, weaving beautiful folk melodies with rich harmonies that have earned them six RTÉ Radio 1 Folk Awards; the one and only Gruff Rhys, celebrating his Welsh language album Dim Probs; Cardiff’s Panic Shack, bringing their high-energy, socially charged indie-punk; Welsh eccentrics Melin Melyn, with their colourful blend of psychedelic pop and playful storytelling; Dublin’s KhakiKid, whose jazz-tinged, offbeat hip-hop carries both humour and heart; London five-piece Sorry, fusing rock’n’roll traditions with the rearranged codes of the digital age; and South West London’s Master Peace, the Ivor Novello Rising Star Award winner whose genre-blending, high-octane performances combine the pulse of indie with the energy of rap.

Clebran & Clebran on The Trail Clebran returns

Over the three days, Clebran will bring together artists, writers, musicians, activists, community voices and more from across Ireland and Wales for a fascinating programme of conversation, connection and performance.

This year’s theme, Edrych Tuag Adref / Looking Towards Home, considers how we nurture what grounds us and surrounds us – our languages and identities, our land and environment, our homes and communities – and the shared experiences that bind us together.Following its debut last year, Clebran on the Trail returns to the Bethania Vestry, hosted by Molly Palmer and Christopher Kissane.

They’ll sit down with some of our amazing Music Trail acts to discuss their creative passions and artistic inspirations. This year’s line-up features Billy Mag Fhloinn, Carys Eleri, Joshua Burnside, Dionne Bennett, God Knows, RÓIS, SexyTadhg and Tokomololo.

 Access to all sessions is included with the festival wristband (first come, first served).

    Many of our venues are intimate with small capacities. This is part of the Other Voices Cardigan magic. If you’re really keen to see a certain artist then we advise that you get to the venue early for the best chance of a place. Many of our Music Trail artists will play twice over the weekend, so you’ll often get more than one chance to see an act.

    You will NOT be able to access events using the confirmation on your phone.
    All but two of our venues (Upstairs at The Angel and The Cellar) have level access. In the event that we programme an act in a venue that is not easily accessible, we always schedule an alternative show with the same act in an accessible venue.
    Cardigan is small, but perfectly formed! There is only a short walk of just a few minutes between venues, so you can fit a lot in. Many of our Music Trail artists will play twice over the weekend, so you’ll often get more than one chance to see an act.
