by Glenn Sargeant | Oct 12, 2024

Presented by Aiken Promotions in association with Donal & Daniel Gallagher, critically acclaimed and globally celebrated blues guitarist Joe Bonamassa and band will play a third night Live at the Marquee Cork as a special celebration of the legendary Rory Gallagher. The first two dates, 1st & 2nd July 2025 are now sold out.

Tickets for this third date on 3rd July 2025 will go on sale Thursday 17th October 2024 at 10am. Tickets will be available from Ticketmaster.ie and Aikenpromotions.com.

Described by Guitar World magazine as, “Arguably the world’s biggest blues guitarist,” Joe Bonamassa opened for the great BB King when he was just 12 years old. An acclaimed virtuoso, Joe Bonamassa has sold over 10 million records, earned 27 #1 Billboard Blues albums. What’s more, Bonamassa has also received 3 Grammy Award Nominations and 13 Blues Music Award Nominations.

In the years that have passed since Rory Gallagher’s sudden death, aged 47 on June 14, 1995, his true stature has become bigger than ever before and relevant in the music universe. Rory was a self-taught virtuoso who forged a musical revolution, shunned the traps of fame and stardom yet became a universally acclaimed international superstar and an inspiration to many.

Rory performed over 2000 concerts throughout his illustrious music career but the emotive connection he made with audiences across the globe was greater than statistics could show. The fire in his fingertips was the thrilling result of hard work and dexterity, tireless energy, and dynamic drive.

Rory’s influence spread through the generations – from Slash to Johnny Marr, from U2’s The Edge to Queen’s Brian May, and The Manic Street Preachers’ James Dean Bradfield – any aspiring player who encountered him was bound to be energized or transformed by the power of the guitar.
