Continuing their long association with Cork and playing Live at the Marquee, The Coronas visited Cork to let us know that they are looking forward to another amazing gig in Cork.
The trio talk all things Cork, pre gig rituals and role models with
Chani Anderson as they get ready for their Cork show.The Coronas fondly their many appearances at Live At The Marquee on Leeside, just weeks ahead of their next appearance at the big-top venue next month.
Part of the reason they are back in Cork is that it’s one of the highlights of their year. “We love it, honestly, it’s one of the best venues we’ve ever played and every time we play there, there’s magic in the air, the walk down from town, it’s just a lovely tent, it’s just an amazing gig and we’re really looking forward to it,” said Danny.
The good news for fans is that the lads are working on their new album, their ninth, and no doubt the set list will feature some new material. Further good news is that songs that fans know and love from their early albums will also feature. Fan favourites such as Heroes or Ghosts and San Diego Song are numbers which will always feature on their set list, the lads say.
Danny, Conor and Graham are looking forward to making it a night to for all who will be there on the night. And if you don’t make it that night, they will be back!
The Coronas play Live at the Marquee Cork on Friday, June 27, 2025, as part of their Thoughts & Observations tour. Tickets are on sale now from ticketmaster.ie.
