Irish Rail to put on extra trains for Musgrave Park gigs
The run of gigs starts on Thursday with Macklemore and Rudimental before The Corrs take to the stage on Friday with support from Natalie Imbruglia and Imelda May. Saturday sees the Stereophonics perform at the Ballyphehane venue.
In a post on social media on Wednesday, Irish Rail confirmed that extra trains would be put on to help attendees get home from the gigs.
The additional services will be in place for the Cork to Cobh route as well as the Cork to Midleton and Cork to Mallow routes.
It is, as of yet, unclear if Irish Rail will put on extra trains on Saturday for fans travelling to the Munster hurling final in the Gaelic Grounds.
Labour TD for Cork North Central Eoghan Kenny urged them to do so, saying: 'Rebels from across the county will be winging their way to Limerick this Saturday for what will be a fantastic game between Cork and Limerick in this year's Munster Hurling Final.
'It's a very special day in the Irish sporting calendar and will be attended by fans up and down the county, which is why I've written to Irish Rail to ask for additional rail services to be provided this weekend.
'Trains from 9.30am are totally booked out and that's before we even consider people changing the time of their return ticket.
'The demand is there and the obvious thing to do is to put on some extra services to get fans to the stadium safely so that as many people as possible can hopefully see Cork lift the Mick Mackey Cup.'

Evan Ferguson completes loan switch to Roma
Republic of Ireland striker Evan Ferguson has completed his loan move to Serie A giants Roma from Brighton & Hove Albion. The 20-year-old Meath man will wear the number 11 shirt for the Italians, who have also an option to buy. Ferguson had scored four goals in 18 senior appearances for his country since his debut in 2022. The former Bohemians forward's club career had stalled at the Seagulls after a series of injuries, with a short spell at West Ham in the second half of last season falling disappointingly flat. Seagulls head coach Fabian Hurzeler said: "Evan had a challenging period across the past season and a half, and it has been one disrupted by niggling injury issues, which hasn't allowed him a run of games. "He is over those injuries and has come back in great shape. Now he really wants to play regularly. This is an exciting opportunity in a strong league and with the prospect of European football." Welcome to Roma, Evan! 🇮🇪 💛❤ #ASRoma — AS Roma English (@ASRomaEN) July 23, 2025 Ferguson will become the first Irish player to represent the three-time Italian champions at senior level. Irish Under 21 international Kevin Zefi is expected to leave the club this summer, having played for Roma's U20 side. Roma finished fifth in the league last season under Claudio Ranieri, who was subsequently replaced by former Atalanta coach Gian Piero Gasperini on a three-year contract. Around one hundred fans showed up at Rome's Ciampino Airport to welcome Ferguson when he arrived in the city on Sunday.
