Cork Jazz 2026

Thu 22 – Mon 26 October · 6 venues · 32 gigs Source line-up ↗

Heads up — every block below is a flat, estimated 2-hour placeholder (the festival only publishes door times, never set lengths). Real sets could run shorter or longer, so treat overlaps as "worth double-checking," not confirmed clashes. Each block also has two small icons: ↗ books tickets, ▶ opens the act's YouTube channel.

How times work. The festival only publishes door times, not set lengths, so every gig is drawn as a two-hour block. Use it to spot likely clashes, not as gospel — check the ticket page for the real running time before you commit.

Worth knowing:

Annie Mac and Tara Kumar are both listed at 11:30pm in Cork Opera House on the Fri and share a ticket link — Tara Kumar looks to be the support on that bill, not a separate gig.
Same for 49th & Main and Caolan Ryan, both 7pm Sat at Cyprus Avenue on one ticket.
Joe-Armon Jones and The Vernon Spring at St Luke's on the Sun (7:30pm / 8pm) also share a link.

Not on here: seven acts appear in the line-up gallery with no date or venue published yet — Yankari Afrobeat Collective, Maya Libbey, Tyra-Lee Spry, TBL8 Brass, Aisling, Winnie Ama and Solène Laurence. The free Music Trail and Big Fringe pub sessions aren't published as a listing at all.

▶ icon: links to the act's official YouTube channel where one could be confidently identified (28 of 32) — picked once by hand, so it points at their channel rather than one specific "latest" video that would go stale. No confident match for Tara Kumar, Caolan Ryan, the Rory Gallagher tribute night, or Mack Fleetwood, so those have no icon.

Scraped from the official line-up page on 9 September 2026. Re-check before booking.
