Set List & Songs
Just some of the material we performCall 07754 265836 or info@funkcitypartyband.co.uk
We mainly play fun, upbeat PARTY songs for dancing. See a big set list below and you can make any request too! One great thing that sets us aside from other party bands is… we’d ask you to make a playlist of ‘songs you will dance too’ and from that set list we’ll just play those! Simples. Below you can also see a set list that we can perform. We are constantly updating this set list and we’re also happy to learn any songs you really love, including your first dance if you’re getting married. Also, if you want any tips on how to write a great set list scroll down!

How to Create the Perfect Setlist for a Fun Event
A great set list is the secret to an unforgettable event. Whether it’s a wedding, corporate party, or private celebration, the right mix of songs keeps the energy high and the dance floor packed. At Funk City Band, we’ve mastered the art of crafting setlists that get guests singing, dancing, and having the time of their lives.
1. Start Strong
Your opening song sets the tone. A lively, well-known classic like “Uptown Funk” (Bruno Mars) or “I Want You Back” (Jackson 5) instantly grabs attention and gets people moving. We often start out live set with “Crazy little thing called love” by Queen.
2. Keep It Familiar & Fun
People love songs they can sing along to! Mixing Motown, pop, rock, and indie hits ensures a broad appeal. Favorites like “Dancing Queen” (ABBA), “Shut Up and Dance” (Walk The Moon), and “Don’t Stop Believin’” (Journey) are guaranteed crowd-pleasers.
3. Build the Energy
A dynamic set list gradually increases in energy. Midway through, include funky, high-energy tracks like “Superstition” (Stevie Wonder) or “Mr. Brightside” (The Killers) to keep the momentum going. A big favourite of lots of dancers is “Hey YA” by OutKast
4. Read the Room
Every event is unique, so flexibility is key. If the crowd loves a particular genre, lean into it! An experienced live band knows how to adapt on the fly. We LOVE to take requests on the night. Just let us know.
5. End on a High Note
Finish with anthems that leave guests wanting more, like “Sweet Caroline” (Neil Diamond) or “Livin’ on a Prayer” (Bon Jovi).
A well-planned setlist ensures a fun, unforgettable night. Want to create the perfect set list and soundtrack for your event? Book Funk City Band today!
