Famous band announces two special shows in Kilkenny

As part of Set Theatre Kilkenny's 15th birthday celebrations, famous Irish band The Stunning will play two special performances over two nights on Friday and Saturday (December 20-21) with tickets on sale this Thursday at 10am.

The Stunning formed in 1987 in Galway, and had their first Top 20 single just a year later followed by two more Top 10 hits before their debut album ‘Paradise in the Picturehouse’ hit the number one spot in 1990 staying there for 5 weeks.

Over the next year or so, there were more hit singles, followed by another number one album, ‘Once Around the World’.

They then released a live album ‘Tightrope’ in ’93 before splitting up a year later.

After an absence of almost ten years, the band reformed in 2003 to find that their audience had in fact grown during the time they spent away.

In 2012, around 30,000 people turned out to see them play a free concert in their old hometown of Galway.

In March 2018 the band released ‘Twice Around the World’, a re-recorded, revamped version of their second number one album ‘Once Around the World’.

It topped the charts once again and was the biggest-selling album in Ireland that week.
