David Gray has been announced as the first confirmed act to perform at Live at the Marquee for 2026.

As part of his Past & Present World Tour, the English singer-songwriter will be performing in Cork on Saturday June 13 and Sunday June 14, 2026.

Looking ahead to his upcoming tour next year, Mr Gray said: “When everyone is in such fine form it would seem wrong to stop the ball from rolling. So with that in mind I’m delighted to announce a string of further dates for the summer of 2026. Exciting times!

“We’ve had the most amazing tour this year. From the opening night in Boston to the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, and then on to the Royal Albert Hall in London and the 3Arena in Dublin.

“These have been some of the most memorable and magical shows of my entire career. We’ve pushed ourselves as a band, but it’s been richly rewarding and so much fun“.

He will be supported by The Divine Comedy during his tour on select dates including in Cork.

Tickets for David Gray Live at the Marquee in Cork go on sale this Friday September 5 at 10am on Ticketmaster.ie.

Meanwhile, an artist presale begins on Tuesday September 2 at 10am. Fans can register for presale access via David Gray’s mailing list at davidgray.com.
