The Cork Week entertainment programme begins on July 12, and promises to be the best ever, with music starting in the early evening from the likes of Devil's Bit and Drumbru, to the late-night DJs as well as the headliners.

Highlights include West Cork act Setmaker who are making their debut at Cork week this year, as well as double bills on the Wednesday and Thursday night - going all Cork on Wednesday with Cork's two best loved acts Fred and The Frank & Walters, and all Dublin on Thursday with Hot Press favourites The Chapters and The Coronas.

Jerry Fish will headline the Fastnet stage from Monday to Friday night while acoustic duo Noel & Frank, along with the Alan Murphy Trio, get things started each night at the Fastnet Bar.

Tickets for Cork Week range from €10 to €20, depending on the night. Season Tickets, covering all five nights are €60. Tickets are available from Tickets.ie or the Royal Cork Main Office on 021 4831 023. All evening events are strictly over 18s only.
