Not every wedding wants the usual covers band. We're Never Dakota, a Northampton four-piece playing the 2000s pop punk, emo and rock anthems your guests grew up on: Blink-182, My Chemical Romance, Paramore, Fall Out Boy, Green Day, All Time Low, Sum 41 and more, plus a few newer favourites. Loud, live and made for a dance floor full of people shouting every word.
Our line-up is vocals, two guitars, bass and drums, with backing vocals from the band and backing tracks where a song needs them, so the big choruses sound the way you remember them.
As standard we play one two-hour set, bring our own full PA and lighting, and arrive two hours before to set up. Add-ons include your first dance played live, and us acting as DJ with music through our PA before and after the set.
We're a great fit for alternative weddings, and for any couple whose playlist is more Welcome to the Black Parade than Mr Blue Sky. All our kit is PAT tested and we carry public liability insurance.
Based in Northampton, we play weddings, parties and events across Northamptonshire and further afield. Travel is included up to 45 minutes from Northampton. Send us your date and we'll come back to you with availability and a quote.
