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.

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.

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.

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.

Kneecap set for biggest UK show at Wembley
Irish rap trio Kneecap have announced their biggest UK headline show to date, taking place at London's OVO Arena Wembley on 18 September. The Belfast-based group, Mo Chara, Móglaí Bap and DJ Próvaí, shared the news on social media with the message: "The belly of the beast – let's go." Tickets go on pre-sale via the group's WhatsApp channel from 10am on Wednesday, with general sale on Friday. The announcement follows a run of high-profile festival appearances, including a sold-out set at London's Wide Awake Festival and a confirmed slot at this year's Glastonbury. However, they were recently pulled from the TRNSMT festival line-up in Glasgow after police raised safety concerns. A replacement headline show at Glasgow's O2 Academy is now scheduled for July. Kneecap made headlines last month when group member Mo Chara (real name Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh) was charged with a terror offence in the UK relating to an alleged incident at a London gig in 2023. The group have denied any wrongdoing and said they intend to defend the charge. Their upcoming Irish shows include a sold-out gig at Dublin's Fairview Park on 19 June and two nights at the 3Arena on 16 and 17 December.
