Summer 2027 will see two acts returning to Cork, with Musgrave Park/Virgin Media Park and Live at the Marquee confirming some additions.

The 2 Johnnies are bringing their Pints In A Field mini festival back to Cork next summer.

Pints In A Field 5 will be at Musgrave Park/Virgin Media Park on Saturday, June 19, 2027, with the popular podcasters being joined by several special guests.

Acts confirmed for the event include Example, Sharon Shannon’s Ceilí, Kerry footballer Pat Spillane’s DJ set, and an Ireland’s sexiest farmer competition, with the day set to be MCed by Cork comedian Andrew Ryan.

“Pints in a Field coming back to Cork, the original home, is absolutely massive,” says Johnny Smacks.

“We’ve done our thing in Dublin, but bringing it down the country opens up a whole new world of possibilities. There’s so much we can do down there, and if the people of Cork think they’ve seen everything, they’re in for a serious surprise.”

Johnny B added: “There’s only one place Pints in a Field truly belongs, and that’s back in Cork. Taking it outside Dublin and bringing it to the people down here is a no-brainer.” 

Tickets priced at €69.90 and €79.90 (incl booking fees) go on sale Friday, October 30 at 10AM from Ticketmaster.ie.  Johnny B and Johnny Smack will also celebrate their 10th anniversary with a gig at the 3Arena in Dublin this December.

They will perform at the tented venue on July 8, 2027, with tickets going on sale on Thursday, October 29 at 10am.
