The biggest highlights Live at the Marquee this summer
With gigs happening all around the country this summer, Cork is an underrated spot — with Live at the Marquee being a highlight. While most of us will be heading to the capital, or to Stradbally, or even up to Donegal for Sea Sessions, the marquee is a spot that fewer people seem to talk about — although the lineup year in and year out has been nothing short of excellent for the real capital. With this, we at have taken a look at the lineup and have made our picks for some of the highlights this June-July. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Picture This (@picturethis) Kicking off the season (and their Home for the Summer tour!) Picture This return to Cork. As part of their nationwide tour, the Kildare band will be entertaining the 5,000 capacity venue to kick off what will be a memorable summer for the people of Cork. Tommy is heading back to Cork this summer. Pic: RTÉ The Tommedian train isn't stopping this summer, with him heading to the marquee this July. In what's set to be a very busy summer for the comedian, Tommy kicks off his tour in Galway before heading to Live at the Marquee for two nights. Cork's most famous son will be in the marquee alongside Roddy Doyle for what is set to be a huge highlight of the season. Pic: Stick to Football/YouTube Yes, technically this is three evenings with Roy Keane, but still an instant highlight as Cork's son comes home. Appearing alongside Roddy Doyle for the in-person chat, Roy will be discussing his career as Manchester United and Republic of Ireland captain, something something Saipan, and his new role as a presenter for the Stick to Football podcast, which he presents alongside fellow Premier League and WSL legends Gary Neville, Jamie Carragher, Ian Wright and Jill Scott. Olly is back in Ireland after selling out the 3Arena and SSE in Belfast. Pic: Joseph Okpako/WireImage/Getty Images One of the bigger stars from The X Factor and enjoying 15 years in the limelight, Olly Murs is set to return to Ireland just months after his shows in the 3Arena and SSE Arena in Belfast. Those who may have missed out on tickets for the April gigs, or people who attended the gigs earlier this year and want a little more Olly, may want to head to Leeside for the huge gig. After a banner year which included a huge Grammy win for his songwriting credit on SZA's song Saturn, Cian Ducrot will be playing a homecoming gig in the marquee. Pic:for The Recording Academy One of the most exciting singers to come out of Ireland this decade, Cian Ducrot, returns to his hometown for the biggest gig of his career. The Passage West singer will be heading to the marquee on July 20 for the mammoth gig, as his career goes from strength to strength — with him set to headline the 3Arena in Dublin later this year.
