One venue, a changing programme

Live at the Marquee works best as a show-led trip. A concert ticket is tied to a particular artist and date rather than providing admission to every night of the season. If two performers appeal to you, compare their dates before booking a Cork stay; they may be weeks apart.

The announced 2027 show

Aiken has announced Paul Heaton for Saturday 3 July 2027, with Rianne Downey as a guest singer and The Lightning Seeds as special guests. Aiken lists 18:00 while Ticketmaster lists 20:00. The date is consistent, but doors and performance timing need confirmation with the ticket provider before planning your arrival.

Book the performance, then the journey

Follow the ticket link from the individual Aiken show page. Seating, standing areas, prices and age conditions can vary by concert. Plan your return across Cork after the show and keep the exact venue instructions with your ticket; the promoter’s office address in Dublin is not the concert venue.
