From 11am – 8pm the MayHum Stage outside Electric Bar and Restaurant, South Mall (memorial park) will feature performances by young musicians from a range of programmes in partnership with Music Generation Cork City. There will also be a Rap and Beats Parade with GMC Beats, where young local rappers and musicians will ‘rap-a-mile’ of cypher performances, starting and finishing at Electric.
