Wedding Party Band North East

We're Overdrive – a high-energy North East wedding band with heart, heritage, and serious chops. Based in Manchester, we’re four professional musicians who met while studying music at one of the UK’s top contemporary music colleges. Brought together by a shared passion for live performance, we’ve been lighting up weddings, parties and events across the UK ever since — with a sound shaped by Manchester’s iconic music scene and a setlist full of pop, rock, soul and indie favourites.

From the first note to the final encore, our mission is simple: get the room buzzing. Expect powerhouse vocals, epic guitar solos, tight grooves and a performance that’s full of energy, personality and polish. Whether you’re after a stripped-back acoustic vibe or a full-scale dancefloor-filler, Overdrive are one of the top North East party bands for hire for a reason.

What makes us different? We’re not just bandmates — we’re great friends, and you’ll feel that connection in every performance. Between us we’ve played hundreds of shows, and we bring the same commitment, fun and attention to detail to every single one. You'll most likely speak to Josh during the booking process, and he’ll make sure everything runs smoothly right through to the last song of the night.

If you’re searching for unforgettable North East wedding bands or looking to book a band that truly brings the party, Overdrive are here to make your night one to remember.

Booking us is easy and stress free. You’ll get a secure contract, 24-hour emergency support, and expert advice from our exclusive agents Alive Network. If we're not available for the date of your event, they’ll be able to help source another great band, with a wide range of high quality Rock and Pop Function Act available across the UK.
