PorkPie bring their contemporary interpretation of classic 2-Tone ska to The Queen’s Hall on Friday 11 December 2026. This Edinburgh date features the eight-piece ensemble drawing material from both of their full-length albums and their recent EP, blending punchy brass with sharp guitar lines and driving rhythms. Their setlist moves between high-energy anthems and more groove-led numbers, with the horn section locking tightly against a rhythm section that keeps the floor moving throughout. The Queen’s Hall’s acoustics give the band’s layered sound room to breathe, while the stage lights catch the brass and sweat in equal measure. Tickets are priced at £30.50, with doors opening at 7pm.
PorkPie stand proudly at the heart of the UK’s modern ska revival, blending the fire of classic 2-Tone with their own unmistakable energy. Over the last three years the band have stepped firmly into their stride, releasing two full-length albums and an EP that have cemented their reputation as one of the most dynamic ska outfits on the circuit. Their self-titled EP ‘Skandemic’ marked a turning point for Porkpie, showcasing sharp songwriting, powerful brass arrangements, and the band’s signature ability to fuse social bite with irresistible rhythm. Building on that momentum, 2025 saw the release of their acclaimed second album ‘9 On the Tiles’, a record that broadened their sound while staying true to the ska roots that first inspired them. The album’s standout single ‘Bones’ became a breakout success and was picked up as a favourite by Craig Charles on BBC Radio 6 Music, earning the band new listeners across the UK and beyond. Known for their electric stage presence, polished musicianship, and a commitment to making every gig feel like a celebration, PorkPie continue to rise through the ska scene with confidence and flair. In April 2026, they’ll bring their unmistakable stomp to the London International Ska Festival, appearing alongside reggae and roots luminaries Misty in Roots and The Cimarons a milestone that marks just how far the band have come. With momentum on their side and a loyal, ever-growing fanbase, PorkPie are skanking forward with purpose—ready to bring their brass, bounce, and big-hearted spirit to audiences everywhere.
