We’ve only just recovered from the last one.

But the Guinness Cork Jazz Festival is already in planning mode for 2024, announcing the first headliner for next year’s event.

Gregory Porter will thrill fans with a gig on Leeside on Thursday, October 24th, 2024.

Fresh off his mesmerising performances on The Late Late Show and the Graham Norton Show, where he enthralled audiences with his soulful voice and charismatic stage presence, Gregory Porter is making a triumphant return to Ireland after a seven-year hiatus.

His last show in Dublin was in 2017, and this much-anticipated appearance at the Guinness Cork Jazz Festival is sure to be a highlight for jazz enthusiasts and music fans attending over the weekend.

Porter’s announcement as the first headliner for the Guinness Cork Jazz Festival 2024 comes on the heels of the festival’s immensely successful 2023 edition, which left audiences buzzing for more.

“Some early Christmas cheer today as we reveal Gregory Porter as the first headliner for the Guinness Cork Jazz Festival 2024.” Cork Opera House revealed.

Tickets  (€55 plus booking fee) go on sale tomorrow Wednesday, December 20th at 12pm on guinnesscorkjazz.com and are expected to sell quickly.
