Celebrating its 47th year, the world-renowned festival will see its biggest programme yet, with more ticketed shows than ever before, an extra date added, an extended music trail through the city, and a stellar line-up of Irish and international musicians and emerging talent who are pushing the boundaries of the genre.

Add to that pop-up events, late night parties, boat trips, collaborations and brass bands marching through the city streets, and you can see why it's one of Ireland's most popular festivals.

Festival goers can expect a diverse range of musical styles, including traditional jazz, swing, bebop, fusion, and everything in between, ensuring there is something to suit every taste.

More acts will be announced in the coming months. See guinnesscorkjazz.com or follow the festival on @GuinnessCorkJazz.
