Kid Congo is making his way to Dublin with his current outfit, The Pink Monkey Birds, to perform live at The Grand Social on June 25. Congo is well known for his essential role in several popular post-punk bands, such as The Cramps, The Gun Club and Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds.

Congo released a couple of well-received solo albums, In The Heat of the Night and Solo Cholo, before moving on to work on his current project.

The gig starts at 8 p.m. and tickets to the show are €20.
