Legendary Cork band The Sultans of Ping are set to take the stage at Cork City Hall this October, marking the band’s anticipated return to the venue for the first time since 1993.

The band promises a night of punk-fuelled nostalgia and high-energy chaos during the Guinness Cork Jazz Festival weekend on Saturday, October 25.

Emerging from Cork’s underground music scene in the late 1980s, The Sultans of Ping became one of Ireland’s most beloved alternative bands.

Their breakthrough single Where’s Me Jumper? became a cult classic, cementing their status as one of the most unique acts to come out of Ireland.

The Sultans will deliver a set filled with fan favourites such as Casual Sex in the Cineplex and Teenage Drug.

The hometown gig will be a celebration of the band’s legacy, a chance for longtime fans to relive the past, and an opportunity for a new generation to experience the band live.

Posting the news on social media, the band said they were “delighted” to announce a show at Cork City Hall.

Tickets will go on sale this Thursday, March 6 at 10am from Eventbrite.ie. Tickets cost €35 plus a booking fee.
