Bambie Thug is coming home to Cork in November to wrap up a 28-date tour, which will take the Macroom performer across the UK and Europe before finishing up with four nights in Ireland’s main cities, Belfast, Dublin, Galway and here on Leeside.
Tickets for the Cork City Hall performance on November 7 will go on sale on Tuesday morning at 10 am but no price for the tickets published yet.
The artist, who had Ireland’s best finish in the Eurovision since 2000 in the Grand Final two weeks ago, has been riding the crest of a wave since then, clocking up more than five million views on You Tube for the performance in Malmo’s arena. They have also gained well over 12 million streams on Spotify.

On their social media platforms on Friday, Bambie Thug announced the details of the tour which begins in Brighton on August 30 before heading to Amsterdam in September with stops in a large number of European capitals including Paris, Madrid, Berlin, Prague, Warsay, iga, Tallinn, Helskinki, Stockholm, Oslo and Copenhagen.
“It’s happening,” they said on ‘X’.
Last week the performer confounded those who claim the Macroom singer is the antithesis to Christmas by launching an appeal on X to seek a symphony orchestra to record a festive song, ‘Merry Christmas Baby’ in time for December 2024.
“I won’t rest until it is reality,” they said.
