The Lizberries - A Tribute to The Cranberries - Cyprus Avenue
At Cyprus Avenue · Caroline Street, Cork, Co. Cork
At Cyprus Avenue · Caroline Street, Cork, Co. Cork
The Lizberries bring their tribute to The Cranberries to Cyprus Avenue in Cork city centre on Friday 4 September 2026. The Cranberries, formed in Limerick and fronted by the late Dolores O’Riordan, remain one of the most recognisable Irish rock exports of the 1990s, and tribute nights built around their catalogue reliably draw a strong local following given the band’s Munster roots. Expect a set built from the group’s best-known singles alongside deeper album cuts, performed with a full band arrangement rather than a stripped-back acoustic set. Cyprus Avenue’s standing room suits this kind of guitar-driven rock show well, and a Friday night slot means a full weekend crowd rather than the smaller turnout a weeknight show might draw. The tribute format tends to bring out both longtime fans who saw the original band and younger listeners who know the songs through streaming and radio play.
Given the band’s Munster origins, a Cranberries tribute show in Cork carries a slightly different weight than the same set played elsewhere, and it is likely to draw a crowd that knows the material well beyond the handful of internationally famous singles. Expect the night to lean on strong vocal delivery in particular, since so much of the original band’s identity rested on Dolores O’Riordan’s distinctive voice and phrasing.
Cyprus Avenue is on Caroline Street, just off Patrick’s Street in Cork city centre, within walking distance of the main shopping district and city-centre car parks.
