Biig Piig at SWX
See event details

A gig held at SWX on Wednesday 26th February. The event starts at 19:00.


The angel number 1111 symbolises enlightenment and awakening. In numerology, it’s considered  divine confirmation that things are on the right path. That feeling is one that Biig Piig arrived at after a long period of constant flux. It also provides the title and emotional bedrock of her highly-anticipated debut album 11:11, which finds the Irish pop star “a bit more at peace with the ebbs and flows of life.”

“Whenever I check my phone and it’s 11:11, I always take a moment to think about someone that I know, or reflect on an experience, or take a moment of gratitude,” she explains. “I feel like it's always a nice time to take a step back, and this record has felt like that too. It’s one big reflection on everything that's happened the last few years.”

Biig Piig is a queen of reinvention. At 26-years-old, she’s lived countless lives in countless cities, from her birthplace of Cork, to Marbella, London, and Los Angeles. She’s worked all kinds of unusual jobs, from dealing poker at Leicester Square’s Empire Casino to working in a draft house after a stint at “Beer School”, and babysitting for a family in Switzerland for two months. That same lawless spirit has driven Biig Piig’s musical identity, including her name. It started off as a joke – something she’d read on a pizza menu – but the more it stuck around the more it came to mirror her lifestyle: “The big pig… the big mess,” as she put it in one early interview. “But in a way, that’s the sweetest thing.”

Entry requirements: 14+, any under 18s accompanied by 21+ adult 1:1 ratio
