Portrait of King Kong Company

King Kong Company

Hailing from Waterford, Ireland, King Kong Company are a high-octane electronic dance band whose explosive live performances have won them acclaim across the country and beyond. Combining thumping beats, blistering brass, electric guitar, and the enigmatic presence of their iconic gold-masked dancer, they deliver rave-fueled anthems that blend influences from techno, dub, and rock. Formed in 2011, the band initially garnered attention for their self-produced music videos, quickly drawing a devoted following.

Their energetic stage shows became festival highlights, earning them multiple Best Live Act awards, including from the Irish festival stalwart, Electric Picnic. King Kong Company released their debut self-titled album in 2016, cementing their reputation for addictive hooks and pounding rhythms. Notably, their signature tracks like "Donkey Jaw" and "All These Things" showcase their vibrant, unfiltered sound.

Touring extensively, the band has played to sold-out crowds at venues such as The Olympia Theatre and Cork Opera House, and wowed audiences at international festivals, including Glastonbury. With a commitment to creative visuals, infectious energy, and an unwavering DIY ethos, King Kong Company continue to push boundaries on stage and in the studio, forging a unique space in Ireland's contemporary music scene.
