Páirc Uí Chaoimh surface may hit concerts

Páirc Uí Chaoimh’s pitch problems may prevent the venue from hosting concerts next year and put it out of the running for an International Rules game later this season.

Although Rod Stewart is set to play at the stadium on May 25, two weeks before Cork face Waterford in their Munster senior hurling championship, work necessary to improve the turf could impact on gigs being staged there in 2020.
