CORK X SOUTHWEST returns for a fourth outing on Saturday July 31st, in the gorgeous West Cork town of Skibbereen. The Showgrounds will play host to Ireland’s best one-day music and arts festival, with an eclectic offering of local and international musicians, bands, DJ's, art, drama, comedy, fringe events and the finest West Cork food.
This year’s festival site will feature a host of fully weatherproofed stages (just in case!), including the Cork X Southwest Mainstage, De Barra’s Sitting Room and the Eclectic Tent. Entertaining the good denizens of West Cork and beyond will be local legends The Frank and Walters, folk hero John Spillane, leading singer songwriter Mick Flannery and the spellbinding Interference. Also on the bill, The Hothouse Flowers, Luka Bloom and Jinx Lennon, with many more acts yet to be announced.
Our line-up celebrates the very best music that Cork and Ireland has to offer, with younger artists such as Mick Flannery and O Emperor performing alongside veterans such as Hot House Flowers and Luka Bloom.
Here at Cork X Southwest, we have one, simple goal and that’s to bring the best musicians and keenest music lovers together for a day and night of damn good music sessions, a creamy pint or two and a belly-full of real West Cork food.”
