One of the best double-bills ever seen in Cork will have Neil Young and Elvis Costello playing in the city next summer. An announcement on Friday morning revealed that both veterans would play Musgrave Park (Virgin Media Park) on July 1, 2026.

Neil Young will come to Leeside backed by the Chrome Hearts, the same band he played an impressive gig with at Malahide Castle in Dublin earlier this year. Highlights of that set included old favourites such as The Needle and The Damage Done, Like a Hurricane, and Rockin' In The Free World.
