Live at the Marquee 2026: Cork’s Allie Sherlock Among Stars Lighting Up 21-Night Festival

Live at the Marquee Cork is back for 2026 with a packed 21-date schedule, opening on 10th June and closing on 18th July, with tickets available through Ticketmaster.ie and full details at aikenpromotions.com.

Cork's own Allie Sherlock takes to the Marquee stage on 24th June as special guest to pop group Five, a homecoming moment for the singer who built an international following from her early days performing on the streets of Dublin.

Irish talent runs deep throughout the lineup. Dublin's Imelda May headlines on 12th June with her show 'Raised on songs & stories', while Kildare folk icon Christy Moore plays a sold-out night on 27th June. Bell X1, one of Ireland's most enduring indie acts, perform on 19th June with BABYRAT in support. Northern Ireland is well represented too, with Two Door Cinema Club on 23rd June and Neil Hannon's The Divine Comedy joining David Gray as special guest on 13th and 14th June.

The international lineup spans several decades of pop and rock. American singer-songwriter James Taylor headlines a sold-out night on 10th July, while British acts Paul Weller, Tom Grennan, and Natasha Bedingfield each take their own nights throughout June and July. Kesha, whose 7th July date is also sold out, and Scottish comedian Kevin Bridges, closing the festival across 17th and 18th July, round out the headline names.

Dance music fans are well catered for on 3rd and 4th July, with sets from Belters Only, Route 94, Dec Pierce Block Rockin' Beats, Bryan Kearney, and Stevie G.

The K-Pop Forever! Tribute show, with special guests The KK Sisters, opens the festival across 10th and 11th June.
