Bringing our Rock the Block festivities to a close, we are thrilled to have Hazey Haze take to the stage as our headline act and guest artist. A native of Limerick, Hazey Haze has been trailblazing his way through the rap and hip-hop world, bringing his unique style of performance to venues and festivals all around the country and further afield. This bilingual artist released his debut album ‘Is Mise’ to critical acclaim. Billed as one to watch by The Irish Times, Hazey has amassed a huge following, with his gritty and authentic vocal style, combined with deeply personal and thought-provoking lyrical expression. A not-to-be-missed performance to close out our 2025 Rock the Block festival.
This collaborative event promises to shake the foundations and roar from a height that Cork is alive with musical mayhem!
