The Festival Wedding Band You’ve Been Searching For
If your dream wedding looks more like Glastonbury with cake, confetti, and questionable dancing from your uncle Dave—you’re not alone. Festival weddings are booming, and trust us, the music makes all the difference. That’s where we come in: Funk City Band, your go-to festival wedding band.
We’re not just musicians. We’re part-time dancefloor commanders, full-time party professionals, and masters of getting everyone from flower girls to grandads up and dancing. Our job? To bring a wild, live-band energy to your wedding that feels like your own personal music festival—minus the mud (hopefully).
What Makes a Festival Wedding Band Different?
Let’s be honest. Most weddings have live music. But not all weddings have a festival wedding band. We’re talking outdoor vibes, upbeat anthems, indie classics, funky soul, and a horn section that doesn’t just play—they strut. It’s a vibe. It’s a movement. It’s the kind of thing guests talk about for *months* after. It’s just a really cool thing to do.
From pop singalongs and Motown grooves to full-on rock and indie party sets, our band is built for that “hands-in-the-air, let’s go!” moment that kicks in after sunset. You can check out some of the magic on our videos and media page.
Flexible Line-Ups for Every Festival Wedding
Every wedding is different. That’s why we offer a range of live line-up options. Going for an acoustic daytime set followed by a big-night blowout? Sorted. Want the whole horn-blasting, bass-thumping 7-piece explosion? We’ve got you covered—here’s our full line-up if you’re feeling bold.
For smaller or more intimate festival-style weddings, our tight 3-piece band still packs a serious punch. We’re fully mobile with wireless mics and instruments, which means you’ll likely see us popping up in the middle of your guests mid-song. That’s just how we roll.
Why Funk City Band?
We’ve played over 600+ weddings and a ridiculous number of outdoor events, tipi parties, marquee receptions, barn bashes—you name it. We know the drill. We know when to crank it up, when to bring the soul, and when to drop an indie banger that makes everyone spill their drink in excitement.
We’ve performed at full-on festival wedding band gigs in fields with fairy lights, food trucks, barefoot dancing and 3am singalongs—and it never gets old. We bring all our own pro gear, help you plan the night, take song requests, and build a bespoke set that actually fits the tone of your big day. No boring playlists here.
The Extras? Oh, There Are Extras
Want us to double as your wedding entertainment for the entire night? Need an MC, Free DJ set between live sessions, or a surprise guest vocalist? We’ve done it all. We’re relaxed, flexible, and easy to work with—because planning a wedding should feel fun, not stressful.
Let’s Turn Your Wedding Into a Festival

Ready to Chat?
If you’re having a party and want a brilliant band that actually gets the vibe and gets people dancing. This is really important to us. If that sounds good— get in touch. We’d love to be the fun part of your night. If you have a wedding or event in a different place we are local to Bath, Wiltshire, Bristol, Somerset and Reading too although we travel absolutely everywhere. *Except the moon*. When people dance too much in zero gravity they have a tendency to float off which can cause problems with our insurance.
