Organising a Christmas party for 200+ people is stressful, but Rival Kings were the easiest part of the whole process. They were professional, worked perfectly with the venue’s sound limiters, and were so flexible when our speeches ran over time. Their performance was tight, high-quality, and full of festive spirit. Can’t recommend them enough!
Christmas Party, Andover.

Finding a band that is both professional and entertaining can be tough, but Rival Kings nailed it for our annual gala. They arrived on time, set up discreetly, and the sound quality was perfect—loud enough to party, but balanced beautifully. We’ve already had requests from staff to book them again for next year!

Rival Kings recently played at our wedding and were awesome. They created a wonderful atmosphere and the dance floor was full all night. We received lots of compliments from our guests on how great they sounded. They were also easy to communicate with and accommodating of our requests. We would recommend them wholeheartedly.

They arrived calm and prepared, cases down, cables neat, no drama. The Rival Kings hit the first chord and the night found its pulse. The set moved cleanly through decades tight playing, vocals clear, lots of energy. They read the room well and played some bangers.
Book them, you won't be disappointed.

I am so glad I booked the Rival Kings for our wedding on the Lightship at Haslar Marina. I wanted a band who really know how to play their instruments and love what they do. And this is what we had.
The music and playlist were perfect and all our guests danced all night. The dance floor filled from the first note played.
The acoustic set was lovely and provided a beautiful accompaniment to our celebration toast following the ceremony.
I was so excited about the music and the dancing and the evening far exceeded my expectations.
Our pub club group are trying to find a good excuse to book the Rival Kings again. It won’t take us long to find a reason to party.

It's incredibly hard booking a band for what is the biggest day of your life, especially when you're unable to see them beforehand. That being said, Rival Kings were on point and were even better in person than the video, and the videos are amazing!

Rival Kings played at our wedding in September and they can only be described in one word…. Phenomenal! They were professional and efficient in the lead up to the day and absolutely smashed it on the day. We had so many guests telling Us how much they enjoyed it. We wouldn't think twice about recommending you.
Thanks again!

Five stars for Rival Kings! We've had DJs in the past, but nothing beats the live energy these guys bring. They kept the dance floor full all night and really knew how to interact with the crowd. If you want your Xmas bash to be more than just 'drinks in a bar,' hire this band.

We hired Rival Kings for my 35th birthday party and they absolutely smashed it. Their setlist is incredible—hits from every decade but played with so much modern energy. They really knew how to read the crowd; by the second set, even the 'non-dancers' were up. Professional, punctual, and incredibly talented musicians.

I hire entertainment for corporate events, and Rival Kings went above and beyond. They showed up on time, looked sharp, and sounded amazing. They knew how to read the crowd and created the perfect vibe for our gala. Couldn’t have asked for better—absolutely outstanding.

Rival Kings were AMAZING, they played at our Wedding in the Cotswolds and we had the best time. The dance floor was packed with our guests from start to finish, everyone LOVED them. I’d highly recommend! Thank you so much for making our day so special and enjoyable!

We didn’t know what to except when booking you guys as we only had you tube to go on but you exceeded all expectations!
Song choices were great especially for our demographic . You are professional, ooze stage presence and talent you guys have it all. You knew what to play and when to play it, you got the most miserable family dancing (jacks father) we could have listened to you all night as you can tell from the partying at the end, everything was perfect so thank you .
You have been the talk of the new forest and you made the party.
Hopefully we have another party soon for you to play at!

Thank you so much for playing at our party! Honestly, you guys were beyond brilliant! If I had a pound for every person that said how amazing you were I'd be a very rich man. I hope we get the opportunity to book you again and we'll be recommending you to everyone. Thank you once again!

Words can't describe how amazing Rival Kings were at our wedding on Saturday! The musicians were so good, not to mention super friendly and professional. From the first dance to "one more song" you absolutely smashed it!
Thanks again!
