The event has been highly anticipated since it was cancelled in 2020 due to Covid, with a scaled-down version taking place last year.
The jazz festival will feature 30 ticketed events over the bank holiday weekend. From Cork to Kinsale, a total of 73 venues will host events.
Among the headline events that have sold out are GoGo Penguin, Zaska, Hermeto Pascoal, Seun Kuti, Yenkee, and Cooks But We’re Chefs.
The festival was launched by Taoiseach Micheál Martin on Thursday night.
As well as events at various venues, jazz performances will take place on the streets of Cork city.
The Cork Jazz Festival Committee organised the lineup, which includes international and national acts such as New York Brass, Lamarotte JazzBand, Hyde Park Brass Band, Brass Kings, TBL8 Brass, Stomptown Brass, and Cork’s own Code of Behaviour, Rebel Brass, the Barrack Street Band, and Blarney Concert Band.
