The Big Finish

The Big Finish are a high-energy rock and indie covers band from York, built to deliver big tunes, packed dancefloors and unforgettable nights. Whether it’s a buzzing pub, a wedding celebration or a local festival stage, The Big Finish live up to their name by making sure every event ends on a high. Available as a slick three-piece or a full four-piece lineup, The Big Finish tailor their setup to suit the occasion. For intimate venues and smaller events, the three-piece delivers punch and power without compromise, while the four-piece comes out for bigger stages and larger crowds, bringing an even fuller sound and extra stage presence. With drums, bass and guitar at the core, the band focuses on tight musicianship, strong vocals and infectious energy. All members of The Big Finish are experienced, gig-hardened musicians, with over 40 years of combined live performance experience between them. They’re not weekend dabblers — they’re working musicians who know how to read a room, build a night and keep a crowd engaged from the first song to the last encore. Musically, The Big Finish pride themselves on playing something for everyone. Their sets span the decades, starting with classic crowd-pleasers from the 60s, 70s and 80s before shifting gears later in the night into 90s and 00s indie and rock anthems as the party really kicks off. Expect everything from Pride and Joy, All Right Now and Born to Be Wild through to naughties energy with tracks like Lonely Boy, All the Small Things, Seven Nation Army and I Predict a Riot. It’s a carefully crafted journey designed to warm up the room, fill the floor and keep it bouncing. Live, The Big Finish are all about interaction and atmosphere. Crowd banter is encouraged, singalongs are inevitable, and the energy stays high throughout. They’re the kind of band that turns casual listeners into enthusiastic participants — and empty dancefloors into busy ones. Their popular encore, Johnny B. Goode, is a perfect example of how they finish nights: loud, fun and smiling. Beyond the music, The Big Finish are also a dream to work with. They provide full PA and lighting, are punctual, reliable and easy-going, and are happy to adapt to the needs of each event. Standard sets are 2 x 45 minutes, with the flexibility to extend to 2 x 60-minute sets where required — ideal for weddings, parties and longer evening bookings. If you’re looking for a band that brings the tunes, the energy and the professionalism — without taking themselves too seriously — The Big Finish deliver exactly that. Big songs, big nights, and a proper big finish.
