Zach Bryan double-header a major boost to Cork GAA debt battle

The June 20 and 21 dates will not affect the home provincial championship fixtures of the Cork hurlers in 2026, but it remains to be seen if the Rebel footballers will be discommoded.

Cork GAA is set for a significant payday with confirmation that country star Zach Bryan will play two nights at SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh next June - the first concert confirmed for the venue since May 2024.

With Cork GAA servicing a debt of €31.1m, as per last year’s county board accounts, the announcement of Bryan’s two upcoming appearances on Leeside, on June 20 and 21 of next year, will deliver a significant boost to stadium revenues.
