The Funky Kongs - Culture Night 2025

About this event

What happens when five player-one nerds with a love for jazz hit start together? You unlock The Funky Kongs – a band unlike any other that’s bringing video game music to life- live!

This squad of musicians and gamers take the soundtracks you grew up with – Mario Kart, Final Fantasy, Animal Crossing, Undertale – and crank them up to 16-bit levels of groove.

Expect jazz, funk, bossa nova and swing, fused into a power-up of nostalgia, audience interaction, and pure fun. Armed with sax, bass, guitar, keys and drums, this home-grown crew doesn’t just cover the classics—they respawn them.

Every arrangement is built in-house, crafted with passion, precision and enough energy to fill an arcade. All you have to do is press power on and join us at the Waterfront for a next-level show. The cake is definitely not a lie.

So grab your extra life, summon your party, and- in the immortal words of a certain karting plumber – let’s-a go!
