Since its beginnings in 2017, the Cork Ska & Reggae Festival has brought together music lovers from across the city and beyond, filling a gap in the local scene and creating a true "One Love" festival experience. Two iconic Cork venues, The Crane Lane Theatre and The Pavilion, once again join forces to showcase an exciting mix of local and international talent.
Over the years, the festival has welcomed acclaimed acts including The Beat featuring Ranking Roger, Zion Train, Dreadzone, Junior Bill, The Beat featuring Ranking Jnr, Pontious Pilate & The Naildrivers, The Service, Skazz, and many more. Continuing its tradition of supporting both emerging and established artists, the festival promises another fantastic weekend of live music with free entry throughout.
This is truly a festival for the people. What's the Ska? Check it out... Irie. 🇯🇲✨
