Live at the Marquee 2014

From vintage family entertainers, to gossamer pop stars via angst-slathered indie rockers, this year’s Live at the Marquee line-up is among the most eclectic yet.

Here are some of the highlight’s of the festival running through June and July in Cork.

Dolly Parton, June 12: The country icon does not tour often, so this is a rare chance to experience her blend of glitter and heartache in the flesh. Parton’s reputation as Nashville’s rhinestone queen overshadows her music — live, it is her powerful songs and soaring voice that leave the deepest impression.
