A good post by Stevie G last night to let us know that Kanye is coming to Cork. I have to say, I am delighted that the Marquee is growing in strength like this. Last year there was something for everyone - music to suit all ages and a healthy mix of genres. I only went to the Nick Cave concert, but there were half a dozen other performances that I would have gone to, like Brian Wilson.

I was slightly disappointed with the lineup this year, despite the quality of the acts (Bob Dylan, Art Garfunkel, Christy Moore, David Gray, Des Bishop, Robert Plant, Roger Waters, The Frames) they’ve all been around the block a few times and theres nothing really new or exciting there. If I haven’t seen them in the past, its because I didn’t think they were worth the fee (yes, I’m talking to you, Arthur). While I won’t be going to Kanye West this year, I am content to watch the marquee grow in importance, and hopefully this will continue as an annual event for years to come.
