Following a run of riotous festival appearances, King Kong Company bring their high-voltage live show to The Academy, Dublin on April 8th, 2017. Building a reputation on frenetic energy and a fully immersive dancefloor experience, the Waterford collectives’ hybrid of driving electronics, infectious brass riffs, and fevered percussion has earned them a reputation as one of Ireland’s most unmissable live acts. Their performances are engineered for the night, where intricate visuals and relentless rhythms push the crowd into the small hours.

Fresh from sold-out shows and an acclaimed debut album, King Kong Company headline the bill, promising a set that bridges electro, dub, and brass-wired anthems. With a fanbase that has grown organically through word-of-mouth and incendiary gigs, the night promises intensity and reward in equal measure. The Academy’s layout and sound provide the ideal canvas for the band’s audio-visual assault, transforming the space into a pulse of movement and color.

Support on the night comes from a handpicked local lineup, amplifying the party atmosphere before King Kong Company take the stage. Expect deep grooves, a communal energy, and a bass-heavy celebration that eschews predictability for something magnetic. Tickets are limited, and demand, as ever, is high—this is the kind of night that leaves a mark on the city.
