They've graced the stages of major festivals including Download, V Festival, SXSW, and Isle of Wight, while prestigious venues like Shepherd's Bush Empire, The Roundhouse and Symphony Hall have hosted them.
Dappa's versatility extends with notable performances at BBC Proms in the Royal Albert Hall, entertained at the Houses of Parliament, and brought their magic to iconic events including Royal Ascot and the London Marathon. Their music has echoed through the historic Notre-Dame Cathedral and animated crowds at Edgbaston Cricket Ground, demonstrating their ability to adapt to any setting while maintaining their signature style.

We've performed at some incredible venues but even the smaller intimate venues stay in our memories. We performed an acoustic roaming band set at the Royal Academy of Arts as guests enjoyed drinks and viewing the art but have also performed at Edgbaston cricket ground to many thousands of people post match.
Some of our favourite artists include Bruno Mars & Jason Mraz.

We are happy to play at all events but really enjoy weddings. Keeping guests on the dancefloor all night is the aim!

Clients are welcome to pick 10 requests from our repertoire that we include between our carefully created medleys to ensure smooth transitions and that the energy level doesn't drop. We learn a first dance or song request free of charge too.
Booking Dappa for my party was the best decision.
They went from an acoustic set during drinks to a high-energy electric performance later on which was so impressive.
They had guests dancing and singing along all night.
One of the standout moments was when they joined us on the dancefloor, making the party stand out more.
Their professionalism, combined with their passion for entertaining, truly shone through.
Our friends and family are still talking about how phenomenal the band was.
If you want your party to be unforgettable, Dappa is the way to go!”
