Marquee concerts in Cork this year are to be cashless events

THIS year’s Live at the Marquee series in Cork is set to be a cashless affair, with concert-goers reminded to bring their bank cards with them.

The decision to go cashless was announced along with other guidelines by organisers ahead of the kick-off of this year’s Live at the Marquee series on May 27.

Organisers have also announced that Yondr, a patented system to create phone-free spaces for artists and individuals, will be in operation for the first time at Live at The Marquee for Tommy Tiernan’s final performances of his show ‘Tomfoolery’ on June 8 and June 15.

All gates will be 6.30pm with the exception of the One Day Festival on June 24 when gates will open at 2pm.

The Live at the Marquee line-up kicks off on May 27 when Joanne McNally and Vogue Williams bring their chart-topping and award-winning podcast, ‘My Therapist Ghosted Me’, live to Cork.

The Frames will play the Marquee on June 2 and June 3, supported by Ye Vagabonds on June 2, and First Class and Coach on June 3. Bingo Loco XXL will make its LATM debut on Sunday, June 4.
