When it comes to Irish festival favourites, few bands have the pedigree and presence of King Kong Company. Named Best Irish Act in 2018 and Best Live Act in 2016 by Pure M magazine, this Waterford-born collective has made a habit of turning festival fields into full-blown parties.
From tearing up the Electric Picnic main stage on a Friday night in 2023 to headlining the main stage at All Together Now in 2024, King Kong Company brings an energy that you simply can’t ignore. In fact, their 2019 Electric Picnic set was so memorable that The Irish Times ranked it among the top 10 moments in the festival’s history, a fitting accolade for a band that has played Electric Picnic almost every year since 2014.
With a reputation for igniting festival crowds and a growing presence on film soundtracks, King Kong Company is, quite simply, a band that stands out both on stage and screen. If you're looking for something bold, dynamic, and memorable, look no further.

Peter Vogelaar
Peter Vogelaar brings his new live 2-man show (with drummer Connor Walsh) back to Bank Lane after a headline slot at Crossed Wires Festival in February.
No stranger to the Waterford music scene, he has remixed a wide range of artists from Wyvern Lingo to Josh Ritter. As he is tipping a million streams on Spotify, his tracks and remixes of his Sophomore album 'Inner Creatures' have gotten support from the likes of Sasha, Kölsch, Eelke Kleijn and Black Coffee.
Peter’s earthy sounding organic electronica has been licensed to HBO, NBC & MTV tv shows and has been commissioned to supply audio for various museum installations as far as TANK Museum in Shanghai.
