Not every wedding wants the usual covers band. Never Dakota are a Northampton four-piece who play 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.

The 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, Never Dakota play one two-hour set, bring their own full PA and lighting, and arrive two hours before to set up. Extras can be added: your first dance played live, music through their PA before and after the set, or an earlier set-up to fit your day.

They'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 kit is PAT tested and the band carry public liability insurance.

Based in Northampton, Never Dakota play weddings, parties and events across Northamptonshire and further afield by arrangement. Send them your date and they'll come back to you with availability and a quote.
