Picture This Makes a Splash Back at Live at the Marquee!
Get ready, Cork! Your summer just got a whole lot cooler…literally, because we all know those Marquee nights can get a bit humid!
Well, slap me with a wet noodle and call me a festival lover—Picture This is coming back to the Marquee on June 25, 2025! It’s enough to make a grown man weep, isn’t it? Perhaps you’re too busy to notice between the cries of excitement from fans and the collective sound of wallets emptying faster than a magician’s rabbit disappearing. And if you missed the sold-out madness in Dublin and Belfast, you might want to get your game face on for this one!
The band’s heartfelt social media announcement was like watching a rom-com finale; they’re returning to a venue that’s been “dear to their hearts.” Awww, can you feel the love? And let’s face it, after a series of sold-out shows, returning to Cork seems less like a choice and more like destiny. Or an obvious money-making strategy—but let’s stick with destiny for the sake of romance.
“Next summer we’re coming back to play a venue we haven’t played for a long time. A place that’s always been dear to our hearts,” the band declared.
Tickets drop like hot cakes on Thursday, November 21 at 10 AM from Ticketmaster.ie. Be there with your finger poised over that refresh button, because we all know how trivial the exercise of patience can be when it’s summer jams we’re talking about!
What’s Cooking in the Picture This Kitchen?
Now, let’s talk about what these lads have been cooking up lately. They recently collaborated with Australian singer-songwriter Dean Lewis for their newest single “Middle of Love.” Sounds like the sort of emotional rollercoaster you’d want to buckle in for—preferably with a loved one, a pint, or both! And how could we forget their latest album, Parked Car Conversations? It snagged the second spot on the Irish album charts. And “Somewhere Close To Heaven”? The earworm that charted at a respectable 16th in the German Airplay Charts—how delightful! Is it the music or the connection with a traveling audience that makes it heavenly? Probably a bit of both, but let’s not get philosophical, I’m not here to break out my best ‘deep thoughts’ impression.
But wait, there’s more! They’re on an arena tour with Rae Garvey and are set to venture back to Germany for five shows in October. These boys are busier than a one-legged man in a butt-kicking contest! I mean, when do they even sleep? Maybe when we do, so we’re all on the same page. This band is truly on fire! And not the kind of fire you call the fire brigade for but the good kind—like that urge to dance and belt out lyrics at an inconvenient volume.
And listen closely, Cork, Picture This is set to bring an electrifying atmosphere, nostalgia, and maybe even a few fresh tears—probably from accidentally stepping on a pint glass or two. Just remember to hydrate; summer tips from a guy who’s seen a few concerts and a lot of “oh-why-did-i-wear-these-shoes” moments unfold live.
Live at the Marquee, the iconic venue in Cork, has excitingly announced an additional date for its upcoming summer schedule, much to the delight of festival-goers.
Following a series of spectacularly sold-out performances in major cities including Dublin and Belfast, as well as a memorable night at Musgrave Park in Cork, the beloved band Picture This has confirmed their eagerly awaited return to the Marquee on June 25, 2025.
“Next summer we’re coming back to play a venue we haven’t played for a long time, a place that’s always been dear to our hearts,” the band shared with fans on their social media platforms upon the announcement of Cork being included in their much-anticipated Home For Summer tour.
Tickets for this much-awaited concert will be available for purchase starting on Thursday, November 21, at 10 a.m. at Ticketmaster.ie.
