King Kong will be making a rampaging appearance at the European Brass Band Championships in Palanga in early May.

The iconic star will be accompanied by Cory Band as they bring their special brand of entertainment to what EBBC 2024 organisers Palangos Orkestras say will be a Gala Concert with "both a local and international flavour".

The former European Champion will be joined by the Palanga Wind Orchestra and the European Youth Brass Band for an exclusive Lithuanian performance of their 'King Kong' show directed by MD, Philip Harper.

Philip is directing the European Youth Brass Band which will comprise 36 players from 14 European countries who will play an important role in the entertainment throughout the festival week.
