Live and kicking at the Marquee

Justice open the summer concert series tonight, with the venue also hosting coverage of Euro 2012, says Colette Sheridan

LIVE at the Marquee, which kicks off in Cork tonight with French electronic duo, Justice, is a big logistical undertaking for promoter, Peter Aiken.

Running until Jul 6, the series of concerts, headlined by ‘Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers’, takes place in the massive tent that has been used for the past eight years . This year, there will be a giant screen on which the Republic of Ireland’s matches in Euro 2012 will be shown. This is being billed as a family event, with face painters and children’s workshops taking place .
