Five For Your Radar: 28 Years Later, Neil Young, Live at the Marquee 

L-R: Neil Young keeps on rockin' in the free world; 28 Years Later, not so much

Cinema: 28 Years Later 

General release, Friday, June 20 

Over 20 years on since the release of 28 Days Later, which made a star of Cillian Murphy and, ahem, revived the zombie genre for the new century, Danny Boyle returns with a sequel, 28 Years Later, and a terrifying new "auteur horror" story. Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Ralph Fiennes, and Jodie Comer star. 

Street theatre: Les Girafes: An Animal Operetta 

St Patrick's Street, Cork, 2pm, 9pm, Sunday, June 22 

Les Girafes parade through Cork on Sunday.

Seven towering red giraffes gracefully parade through Cork's city centre, led by an operatic diva, as Cork Midsummer comes to a close after 10 days of memorable events. French street theatre company Compagnie OFF will be accompanied by a troupe of bumbling keepers, musicians, and performers savannah for this free event.

Concert: Neil Young and Van Morrison 

Malahide Castle, Dublin, Thursday, June 26

Both men are 79, and while they may outlast us all, there is a sense that we don’t know how long more they’ll be touring. The Canadian-American rocker returns to Ireland with a band that includes Willie Nelson’s son Micah, and fans will be happy to hear that recent setlists have included such classics as Sugar Mountain and Heart of Gold. Van the man has been a mixed bag in the live arena in recent years, but can still conjure up moments of magic.

Streaming: The Bear 

Disney+, Wednesday, June 25 

After a divisive — some would say tedious, others would say slow — third season, The Bear returns for its fourth season. Jeremy Allen White, most recently seen as The Boss in the trailer for Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere, reprises his role as anger-managing chef Carmy, while Ayo Edebiri and Ebon Moss-Bachrach also return to the kitchen/melting pot. As usual, all 10 episodes of the season drop at once on Wednesday.
