King Kong Company

🔸ARTIST FOUCS 🔸 Our last artist announcement is @kingkongcomp When they accepted our invitation to join us tonight we were honored and excited. We are delighted they will play a DJ set tonight and NO DOUBT 👀 some surprises are in store 💥 King Kong Company was conceived when two college friends, Alan Aylward and Mark White began experimenting with dance music using effect laden guitars and drum machines. They recruited college friends and expanded into a five-piece. King Kong Company recorded a session for Dave Fanning on RTÉ 2fm, and despite having some of their tracks edited, they were announced as the most popular radio session for that year. King Kong Company played at Ireland’s first dance festival, Homelands. In 2011 the band reformed with the idea of producing one new music video every month. Before the band played a gig, the video for Acetate won the Viewers Choice Award at the Irish Music TV Awards in 2011. The popularity of the videos resulted in the band playing a one off sold-out gig at The Forum in Waterford in 2012. This resulted in subsequent festival offers[1] including Life Festival, Body & Soul and Electric Picnic. In 2023 the band released the brand new single “The Machine”, featuring top YouTube diorama artist Bobby Fingers. Following the release, the band played their biggest show to date, performing on mainstage at Electric Picnic.[17] This was the culmination of playing at the festival for ten consecutive years.

A very Happy New Year lads. May 2026 be just as much, if not more craic. See you all soon 🎉🥳

We are delighted to announce the amazing @SX2_music as our support for Cork ‼️Fri 24th Oct - Tickets in Bio‼️ "Sx2 are brothers Clive & Scott Sullivan from Waterford, Ireland. Formed in 2017 when they decided to move DJ sets from their bedroom to dance floors. Their DJ sets and productions blend genres, drawing groove, emotion, and everything else in between, not conforming to any particular sound, style, or trend. This DIY style leaves a fresh approach for both themselves and the listener. Blurring the lines and breaking the rules within contemporary dance music. With a monthly Residency at Waterford's Electric Avenue, regular parties with their side project Ruze, and most recently surfacing on the Festival circuit with closing slots at Electric Picnic and All Together Now. Having their tracks supported by artists like Keinemusik, John Digweed, Moscoman, and Dave Seaman just to name a few, expect to see the name SX2 a lot more on your radar in future“

Here we go Autumn Tour 🥳. The festival season may be over, but you won't have long to wait before you can catch us in 3 of our favourite venues to play. Join us in bringing the chaos, the beats, the brass and the buckfast. Expect full-on energy, big tunes, and nights out you won’t forget in a hurry. 🥁🎺💥 🎟 Tickets - Link in Bio #KingKongCompany #LiveMusic #GigAnnouncement
