- ABOUT US
Rival Kings deliver an unforgettable, high-energy live music experience designed to keep dance floors packed all night. Specialising in floor-fillers spanning seven decades—from iconic 60s pop, 90s indie, and end-of-night rock anthems to modern chart-toppers—we offer far more than the standard party band setup. Alongside the guaranteed crowd-pleas ... ers, our sets feature unexpected, high-impact covers of tracks you wouldn't expect an all-male line-up to pull off, leaving guests surprised, singing along, and raving about the night for years to come.
- OUR MUSIC & BACKGROUND
Musicianship isn't just a day job for us—it is a lifelong passion. Band members Ivano (Lead Vocals), Luca (Guitar), Simon (Bass), and Russell (Drums) have each been honing their craft since their early teens. Combining formal musical training with over a decade of intensive live performance, every member brings exceptional technical skill, tight harmonies, and dynamic stage presence to the group. We perform because nothing matches the adrenaline of connecting with an audience and driving a live crowd to peak energy.
Over the years, our performing highlights have taken us to iconic venues and major stages across the UK. We’ve headlined bustling festival tents, entertained roomfuls of corporate guests, and soundtracked hundreds of unforgettable wedding celebrations from Stirling down to Southampton.
- EVENT PACKAGES & SERVICES
We offer complete peace of mind with fully tailored, professional packages for every stage of your event:
• Standard 4-Piece Band: Up to 2 hours of explosive live music split into tailored sets.
