About Stingray

A diverse set with party favourites like ‘Mr Brightside’ to classics from iconic artists such as David Bowie and pop divas like Katy Perry
Function band
Cambridge
Public liability insurance of £10 million

​If you’re looking for a band that plays nothing but absolute bangers, you’re in the right place. Stingray is a high-energy group with a massive, diverse setlist designed to keep people on the dancefloor from start to finish. We don’t stick to just one style, we play the songs that people actually want to hear—from classic rock and indie anthems to punk-edged hits and modern pop. ​ Our set is a mix of everything that makes a great night. We’ve selected tracks from everyone's favourite artists, making sure there is something for every generation in the room. ​We love getting the crowd involved early with iconic hits from David Bowie and ELO, or getting everyone singing along to Queen’s ‘Bohemian Rhapsody.’ If you want that big, stadium-filler sound, we’ve got you covered with Simple Minds’ ‘Don’t You Forget About Me’ and the indie-rock energy of The Killers and Stereophonics. ​ When it’s time to crank things up, we bring out the heavy hitters. We play hi-energy rock from the Kaiser Chiefs, The Cult, and Kings of Leon. If your crowd likes things a bit more "punky," we throw in tracks by The Clash and The Buzzcocks to really get the room moving. It’s not all loud guitars, though. We know how to read a room and slow things down when needed with tracks from Coldplay or The Feeling. We also keep the pop fans happy with massive hits from Britney, Katy Perry, and Harry Styles—songs that are guaranteed to get people dancing. ​ We like to finish the night on a high, usually with a run of huge anthems from the likes of Oasis, Arctic Monkeys, and the rock giants Queen. ​We are professional & reliable, we know how much goes into planning an event, so we make the music side of things as easy as possible. We’re a self-contained band with professional-grade sound and lighting, so we’re ready to go as soon as we arrive. Whether it’s a wedding, a festival, or a private party, we bring a professional attitude and a massive sound to every stage. ​Every song in our repertoire has been chosen because it works. We’re constantly adding to our list, so check out our full Playlist below to see what else we can bring to your night.

Stingray were booked for a 30th and 60th joint birthday celebration. Professional from the outset, the Band established how we wanted the night to play out, with timings of their set to work in with arrival of guests, with time for guests to enjoy a buffet too. The choice of set list, working in with our own requests too was accommodated and I have no hesitation in recommending Stingray to perform at any special occasion.

Thank you Stingray for a superb evening. My wife and I booked this awesome band for our 50th wedding anniversary. We were so happy to see so many people enjoying our special evening. We hope to see you again in the future. Highly recommended. Barry and Denise
