Neil Young & Crazy Horse for Live At The Marquee

We haven't even celebrated Christmas and already the big summer gigs are being announced for 2014.

A biggie this morning – Neil Young has just confirmed he will play Cork's Live At The Marquee next year. Not only that, he'll be bringing his legendary band Crazy Horse along with him for the July 10 date.

It will be his first appearance in the rebel county since he played the same venue in 2008. He last hit Irish shores this summer, when he played a distinctly non-greatest hits set in the RDS and irked many.

Regardless, Young is always a big draw and a singular live talent. With tickets (priced €76) going on sale next Monday, December 16, at 9am, they're sure to make a great gift for fans.
