Live at the Marquee is an annual music festival which takes place in Cork, Ireland during the summer, usually over multiple days in June and July.
The first event occurred in 2005 when Cork was the official European Capital of Culture. It was then decided to continue with the event in the years that followed. In 2007 the event was relocated from Monahan Road to the Docklands on Centre Park Road in Cork.
