Come to Cork for Quarter Block Party 2023
Quarter Block Party brings its DIY ethos to multiple Cork City venues across this July weekend.
Quarter 2023
Based in Cork City, Quarter Block Party celebrates the spirit of DIY culture in Ireland and showcases a diverse range of artistic expressions. Originally based solely in North Main Street, the annual arts jamboree has now expanded to many more locations across Cork City.
Artists
Quarter’s 2023 music programme ranges from indie rock to experimental electronica and includes performances from Elaine Howley, Junk Drawer, Maija Sofia, Elaine Malone, Flowers At Night & more. Cork rock fans will want to head to The Nest at Coughlan’s Bar on Douglas Street (Saturday 15th July) to catch Listening Face, featuring members of long-time Cork favourites Hope Is Noise, Slow Motion Heroes and The Frank & Walters.
Quarter Block Party creates an immersive experience that engages both locals and visitors in an exploration of the arts scene in Cork City. By highlighting different spaces across the city into lively performance spaces, the festival highlights the city’s rich cultural heritage while embracing the cutting-edge and innovative works of emerging artists.
