Live at the Marquee will return to Cork next summer and has announced its first act for 2026.<\/p>\n

Fresh from Electric Picnic, David Gray confirmed he will perform two nights at the festival as part of his Past & Present World Tour. His Cork shows will take place on June 13 and 14, 2026.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve had the most amazing tour this year, from the opening night in Boston to the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, and then on to the Royal Albert Hall in London and the 3Arena in Dublin,” Gray says.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“These have been some of the most memorable and magical shows of my entire career. We\u2019ve pushed ourselves as a band but it\u2019s been richly rewarding and so much fun! When everyone is in such fine form it would seem wrong to stop the ball from rolling – so with that in mind I\u2019m delighted to announce a string of further dates for the summer of 2026. Exciting times!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

The White Ladder singer will be supported by The Divine Comedy during his tour.<\/p>\n

As well as the Cork dates, Gray announced appearances at SSE Arena in Belfast for June 16, and Fairview Park, Dublin, on June 17.<\/p>\n

Tickets for Cork go on sale on Friday, September 5 at 10am from Ticketmaster.ie<\/a>.<\/p>\n

An artist presale begins on Tuesday, September 2 at 10am. Fans can register for presale access via David Gray\u2019s mailing list at davidgray.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, fresh from their appearance at Electric Picnic over the weekend, Kneecap revealed details of two Kerry gigs for later this year.
