The Upstarts are a stylish and polished, Midlands based, 5 piece wedding and function band. Very experienced and assured on stage which means the performance and the music are designed to keep the dance floor full and guests happy.
Established in 2011, UK five piece The Upstarts have been blowing away audiences across the country with their unique mix of feel-good hits and classic anthems. Performing to crowds in their thousands and supporting some of the biggest names in the industry, they have shared stages with the likes of Scouting For Girls, The Feeling, Judge Jules, S Club 7 and The Prodigy at some of the UK’s biggest festivals including Glatonbury, Victorious and Secret Garden Party. Past clients include Aston Villa Football Club, Cheslea Football Club, Barclays, Sainsburys, Claire’s Accessories, Vijay Maliya, Stephen Hawking and Red Bull Racing.
They are a dual male and female fronted band supported by some of the finest multi-instrumentalists in the land. You can expect epic guitars solos, anthemic synthesizers, grooving bass/drums/electronic percussion, MC breaks and four part vocal harmonies all delivered via a pristine sound system.
Bucking the trend of the traditional private hire band The Upstarts have fully embraced modern technology and are one of the only bands in the UK faithfully recreating electronic dance music live. This has seen them become the live backing band of choice for a host of 90s dance and rave legends at festivals, making them the ideal choice for a ‘rave wedding’ or ‘festival wedding’.
The band pride themselves on their natural live energy and ability to inspire their audiences to have a good time, so get in touch now to book one of the UK’s top live acts for your event.
