The programme for the Cork Midsummer Festival was launched on Tuesday last in the Bodega. The festival, which runs from Tuesday 19th - Saturday 30th June, will this year feature, among other highlights, the biggest Spiegeltent line-up yet. Our interest is mostly in the live music events during the festival and again this year a lot of Cork favourites will perform at the Spiegeltent, including John Spillane, Mick Flannery, The Frank & Walters and the Sultans of Ping. Red FM’s Stevie G will host an evening showcasing young Cork talent from all genres, and needless to say this event will be open to attendees of all ages. Other notable gigs include Kila, Karan Casey, Camille, Julie Feeney and Karen Egan.

Important note about Spiegeltent gigs:
Each night the doors will open for the first show at 6.30pm and at 9.15pm for the second show. There will be two performances, one from 7pm and one from approximately 9.30pm onwards. Please note that the advertised time of the show is the start time.
Please note that the Spiegeltent is a mixed seated/standing venue and your ticket guarantees entry to the tent but does not guarantee a seat. Subject to licence and permissions.
Due to licensing laws, all tickets for the Spiegeltent must be booked at least 24 hours in advance
It’s not all about the Spiegeltent of course; Fans of jazz, choral, world and chamber music will find events to suit them in venues like the Triskel Arts Centre, the Everyman Palace Theatre and St Fin Barre’s cathedral.
