Cork Midsummer Festival
We’ve taken everything you loved about last year’s Spiegeltent and added more!!
Click here for Spiegeltent Events 2007

This year the Spiegeltent programme is our biggest ever!

Featuring unforgettable gigs by some of Cork’s biggest bands, including the return of the Frank & Walters and the Sultans of Ping. We have the enchanting Camille, Karen Egan and the first Cork concert from Barb Jungr. If trad’s your bag then don’t miss Kila and Karan Casey. For big nights out there’s Bangcork! – the Kickback Summer Party - or put on your fancy dress for Sing-a-Long-a Sound of Music - complete with singing nuns and hairy men in lederhosen!

We’ve got a club afternoon for teenagers – Da Beatz, curated by 96FM’s Stevie G – and a club afternoon aimed at the over 65s – The Shellac Sisters are four retro DJs who play the classics of yesteryear on wind-up gramophones.

We’ve got not one, but two exclusive circus shows. Fidget Feet Circus is suitable for all the family: come along on Tuesday 19th or Wednesday 20th June and experience the Spiegeltent like you’ve never seen it before. While for the thrill seekers among you, we are proud to introduce the Irish premiere of the world famous, and notorious, Fire Tusk Pain Proof Circus – but be warned, it’s not for the squeamish.

And this year the entertainment doesn’t just take place in the evening. We’ve got a whole host of delectable lunchtime offerings, many of which are for free - bring in a sandwich and enjoy the show!

We’ve also got more community involvement in the Spiegeltent than ever: during the first few days of the Festival a huge graffiti mural will be created around the Spiegeltent, created by Mayfield Community Arts Centre in collaboration with artists from Latin America, Europe and young people from Cork.

We would like to thank our Spiegeltent sponsors Budvar for all of their generous support.



Each night the doors will open for the first show at 6.30pm and at 9.15pm for the second show. There will be two performances, one from 7pm and one from approximately 9.30pm onwards. Please note that the advertised time of the show is the start time.
