Everyone from Damon Albarn to Pee Wee Ellis will be in attendance
The full artist line-up for this year's Guinness Cork Jazz festival has just been announced, with over 1000 musicians from 35 countries set to perform. They'll be taking to the stages of over 80 Cork venues this October Bank Holiday Weekend.
Funk legend Pee Wee Ellis, who has collaborated with Van Morrison in the past, will be in attendance, as will Kyle Eastwood, son of Clint, and Britpop hero Damon Albarn.
Over 90% of gigs on the famous Guinness Music Trail (including over 60 venues citywide) will be free of charge.
Claire Cadogan, Brand Manager, Guinness commented, “We are delighted to announce more new acts to this year’s line up. The Guinness Cork Jazz festival maintains its jazz soul, but the new line up definitely reflects a new direction for festival, showcasing well known exciting acts including Damon Albarn and Kyle Eastwood. It’s also great to see the Guinness Music Trial boast such an impressive line-up this year. Whether you’re in a Cork venue or a pub this bank holiday, everyone can look forward to some great performances”.
