Cork gigs 2025

[The High King]

They're on Blow Torch Records, who released His Father's Voice record, which was great, but outside of Adore, most of the stuff I've heard on their roster is bang average, I'd give everyone a go though, and always (within reason) support the support

Thought they were good enough.
Nice and tight, excellent drummer and guitarist and did well with a tough crowd.
From Macroom the young fella informed me.

A really good time- worth a look?

They were not, in fact, worth a look! Very mediocre.

The scratch ( who they were supporting) were fucking awesome though. Brilliant energy and great fun. Full on mosh pit an all. I felt like a young girl of 30

The scratch are class. Announced a load of Irish dates yesterday but nothing in Cork

PiL on stage @ 2100hrs this evening.

Support is from a Cork band called Ash Red. No? Me either.

only see three songs from red ash but enjoyed what i saw, i will see them again hopefully... great to see to PIL. done about an hour and a half...himself seemed in good form ,pretending to be slugging back the whiskey , brash and bold as ever, this is not a love song and Rise the highlights for me ..cyprus avenue is an amazing venue., so intimate with great sound.

Didn't see the support - got in just before PiL walked on.

"I suppose you're all the people who didn't get Oasis tickets" and they were off.

Lydon was in great form - snot and spit flying, gargling with brandy, dropped the keks and held his voice for the most part. My buddy said to me "He still has it and seems up for it in fairness."

Mercifully Johnny didn't start a polemic rant at any point. The band that are back him are great too and the sound in Cyprus Avenue was spot on.

Don't think that I have ever seen a band leave the stage for a breather that wasn't an encore break (or maybe it was?) before. Lydon's voice recovered after the smoke break and they brought the show home really well.

Lydon was correct about one thing - it was fucking roasting in the venue, an absolute sweatbox.

"Death Disco", "Public Image", "Poptones" and "Rise" all belters. Oh and "This Is Not A Love Song".

"Shoom" - I fucking hate it and used it as my loo-break.

The men's toilet, as usual, is the big downer about C.A. when it's sold out. Having to get from a vantage point on the other side of the room, across a packed floor, then along the side wall where people have congregated and then do it in reverse is a fucking pain.

Luckily the venue was full of middle to late-aged men so they all knew the score as I "Sorry. Sorry. Just get past you there. Yep. The jacks. Yep. Sorry." waded my way through them.

Ash - Red the support band played a cracking cover of Gang of four- Damaged goods.
I really enjoyed PIL, yes the main man was in great form
the only glitch for me was " Poptones" I didn't like the way he sang the lyrics,kind of too mellow and pleasant.
The sound was spot on.

he left the stage for a malboro i think he said.. a cigcarette i suppose, joe bonamassa smoked his cigar on stage in the marquee a few weeks ago. i was one of the midle to late aged men , i was right up the front in my usual spot. to be honest i didnt find it hot but iwas wearing shorts.
