UK rising soul star of RnB Debbie and Dublin indie-rock group Basht. have today been announced as the final headliners for the filmed Other Voices performances in St Columb's Hall.

Championed by BBC 6 Music's Steve Lamacq, Dublin four-piece Basht. will release their debut album Poor Advice on 9th October via LAB Records. After a breakout year that saw them tour with DEADLETTER, Everything Everything and Wunderhorse and appear at The Great Escape, Truck, Liverpool Sound City and Live at Leeds, the band arrive at their debut with 2025's acclaimed Bitter and Twisted EP behind them.

Debbie has quickly established herself as a singular new voice, creating intimate, emotionally resonant music that has earned her a devoted audience. Since her 2022 debut single 'Is This Real Love?', she has picked up praise from The Guardian, Evening Standard, Rolling Stone UK and the BBC, alongside support from YouTube and Apple Music, a performance on Later... with Jools Holland, and guest appearances with Stormzy, Nines and Chase and Status.

All performances from St Columb's Hall will be streamed globally via the Other Voices YouTube channel and fans can set a reminder now. The headline performances will be filmed for the Other Voices TV series, with tickets available free of charge thanks to PEACEPLUS Change Maker Funding. Golden tickets will be allocated through the official ticket lottery and social media competitions.
