The Guinness Cork Jazz Festival attracts a spread of world-class stars that perform in many of Cork’s major venues such as The Everyman Palace, Firkin Crane, The Savoy, The Pavilion, Cyprus Avenue and the Gresham Metropole Hotel. There’s also non-stop music, day and night, in over 80 clubs, pubs and hotels citywide, plus master classes and many fringe events.

The Everyman Palace will host a terrific double bill with The Bad Plus and The Sun Ra Arkestra on opening night, and festival venues will also feature artists such as Al DiMeola, Gilad Atzmon, The Hypnotic Brass Ensemble, Eldar, Peter Green, The Fun Lovin’ Criminals and UK saxophonist Yolanda Brown.
