It is with great sadness that we must inform you that Kamasi Washington has cancelled the remainder of his 2024 Fearless Movement tour, and will no longer be able to perform at this year’s Guinness Cork Jazz Festival as he has to undergo major surgery. We wish him all all the best and a speedy recovery.

A new date for this show has been set for April 9th 2025 in Cork Opera House. All tickets for this year’s show are transferable and all ticket holders have been notified.
