Midsummer Festival set to shine in Cork

Reggae royalty, Ireland’s most famous comedy actress and Cork’s first ever Proms concerts are just a few of the attractions at this year’s Cork Midsummer Festival.

Cork is set for 11 days of theatre, literature, dance, circus and visual art to include 25 world, European and Irish premieres as the Midsummer Festival launched today.

The world premiere of Ray Scannell’s apocalyptic black comedy The Bluffer’s Guide to Suburbia is among the highlights of the hugely popular festival.
