The Guinness Cork Jazz Festival is back for its 48th year this October 22nd - 26th. Over five days, more than 500 musicians will perform across 100 events in nearly 80 venues—from headline ticketed shows to the free Guinness Music Trail, with pop-up gigs, street performances, and big brass energy spilling into the streets as part of The Big Fringe.
The buzz stretches beyond the city too, with gigs in Douglas, Kinsale, and beyond, cementing the festival as a must for visitors from home and abroad. Not only Ireland’s premier jazz event, but also the country’s biggest city-based music festival.
With jazz greats, global innovators, and breakthrough Irish talent all sharing the stage, this year’s Guinness Cork Jazz Festival promises another unforgettable weekend of music and magic across the city.
Supported by Diageo, Fáilte Ireland, Cork City Council, and Cork Airport.
