Cork Jazz Festival 2026

The Cork Jazz Festival takes place from Thursday, 22nd to Monday, 26th October 2026. What an amazing way to spend the October Bank Holiday weekend! Approaching its 50-year anniversary, the Cork Jazz Festival has attracted thousands of music fans to the city since its modest beginnings in 1978. The festival welcomes many famous artists to perform at the event, and 2026 is no different. The Stunning and Mundy will headline on Friday, while Bob Geldof and The Boomtown Rats take to the stage on Saturday, with performances taking place at Cork City Hall. Keep your eyes peeled for the full line-up, with more acts set to be announced in the next few weeks!
