The Music Trail back in 2027

The Music Trail extends across the town of Cardigan showcasing over 80 live sets by some of Ireland and Wales' brightest new talents!

The line-up of music is drawn from across the genres, featuring everything from hip-hop, grime and electronica to post-punk, traditional and folk and everything in between at this year’s Lleisiau Eraill - Other Voices Cardigan.

A weekend wristband will give you access to every show on the Music Trail all weekend long, on a first come, first served basis!

A limited number of golden tickets are issued for the recording of the performances at St Mary's Church. These tickets cannot be bought but buying a Music Trail wristband will automatically enter you into the draw to win golden tickets for these world class performances.  

Clebran - thought provoking debate

The Clebran sessions provide a space where ideas and stories meet discussion and performance at the Other Voices Cardigan Festival by bringing together speakers, thinkers, doers and artists from Wales and Ireland to explore perspectives on current issues.

Clebran takes place in the daytime across the three days of the festival, with previous speakers including Wales’ First Minister Mark Drakeford, writer and broadcaster Jon Gower, and National Poet of Wales Hanan Issa. 

‘Clebran on The Trail’ - a series of inspiring conversations with musicians in Music Trail venues across  Cardigan town, exploring the things that fuel their creative fire and the passions they hold dear.
