The Icono Band is a London based party band, specialising in performing at weddings and corporate events.
To date, the band has performed throughout the UK, Europe and Asia.
The band line up includes both male & female lead vocals, plus live Saxophone. They perform a wide range of music, from Motown classics to modern dance and pop music, all designed to get everyone dancing and singing from the first note, whatever the event.
Using the latest multitrack technology live, they are able to authentically perform a wide range of music, including modern dance and pop music, with a mixture of classic dance floor anthems for all ages. See below for a recent setlist and their full repertoire, which is constantly being added to with the latest trending songs.
Booking Options
The most popular lineup is the 4 piece band, this consists of female lead vocals / guitar, male lead vocals / guitar, saxophone and drums. The band uses the latest multitrack technology and synthesizers, as do many major touring artists, to authentically perform a diverse range of music, all while performing live.
Also included is theatre grade sound & lighting, meaning not only will the band sound great but will look great as well. The lighting shown in the video is what will be provided for your event.
The sound / lighting included is suitable for events up to 250 guests, for larger events we have AV suppliers who will setup and engineer a larger setup for you, please inform us when making an enquiry if you are expecting a larger audience at your event.
Additional booking options are available:
Live DJ
The band provides exclusive pre mixed DJ sets, made by one of our experienced DJs, ensuring there is music for everything from background music over a meal, and DJ sets to keep the dancing going between and after the live performances.
If you would prefer a live DJ for the ultimate flexibility, we can offer a discounted rate for one of our DJs, compared to booking a separate DJ. The band is also able to work with your DJ if you already have one booked.
International Package
The band can perform internationally, they are based in London, England but have travelled worldwide for events, including the South of France, Italy, Jordan to name a few. If you are planning an event overseas, we can offer a bespoke package to ensure everything runs smoothly on the day.
Additional Musicians
Additional musicians, such as extra horns, strings, percussion, keyboards and vocalists, can be added, all using our talented musicians that we have worked with before. The 4 piece band are able to work a big stage, but sometimes our clients prefer a larger band and we will be happy to organise this for you.
Drinks Reception Options
The band's lead vocalist can arrive early and perform a chilled background set during your drinks reception, and she is also regularly booked for wedding ceremony performances. The band's Sax player is also available for an earlier solo performance, ideal for outdoor summer drinks receptions.

The band comes fully self contained with theatre grade sound & lighting equipment, suitable for up to 300 guests, all they require is a large enough area to perform in and access to a safe 240v power supply.
We provide modern, theatre grade RCF sound system, an upgrade in 2025, the speakers sound amazing, you can hear each instrument clearly and the sound quality is well above the usual standard for function bands.
We also provide modern, computer controlled lighting, as opposed to small party lights which can be strobing throughout the night and not fit the theme. Our system can be adapted to suit the event and adapted throughout the evening, eg for a first dance at a wedding it can be white spotlights, moving onto a more active light show later on.
The more information the better, we always ensure to discuss the best arrival time, to allow time for the band to setup, and any access information, including parking, load in information & where the band is to setup.
As a guide we usually ask for a space 6m wide x 3m deep for the 4 piece band.
We would also need to know in advance if the venue has a sound limiter which can cut the power off, as not only is this disruptive to the event it can also damage our equipment. We can work with these but need information in advance from the venue, if not well maintained these limiters can trip the power when people clap or cheer, and we want to make sure that our clients are able to enjoy their event.
We provide a DJ service with all bookings, which is an automated mix, or can provide a separate DJ who will be on the decks throughout the night when the band isn't performing.
Our clients are welcome to provide their own playlist on a laptop, which we can plug in to our mixing desk. We recommend against using phones just in case someone calls you!
For the 4 piece band we recommend an area of 6m x 3m but we can adapt to different spaces. The 3 piece band is more compact so can be setup in a smaller area.
Too many to list, highlights include: Hyde Park, NEC Birmingham, Disneyland Paris, Stamford Bridge Stadium, The Etihad Stadium, Somerset House, Goodwood Festival, Blenheim Palace, Imperial War Museum, The Ritz, Café de Paris, Whitehall Place We have performed as far afield as the Middle East, plus some amazing venues in Europe including Lake Como, Italy & South of France.
So many different artists, Mike the band leader got bitten by the music bug attending a Bryan Adams concert at Wembley Stadium as a kid and hasn't looked back, seeing 100,000 people all singing together is what music is all about. The greatest song in the world depends on where you are, what you are doing and how you are feeling at the time.
The band was originally started by band leader Mike, while he was still in music college, and Mike has worked as a full time musician ever since. The majority of the work we do is weddings, corporate events and military balls. There was a 2 year break from performing at private events when Mike was part of an group signed to Mercury Records, which was an amazing experience, performing large venues including Hyde Park Wireless Festival, and supporting artists such as James Blunt and Chic to name a few!
Any event where people are looking to dance, sing and forget where they are - there is something special about a group of people all enjoying the music together, and it is the greatest feeling to be able to perform live music!
The 3 piece band consists of female vocals, male vocals & guitars plus Saxophone, a compact lineup ideal for smaller venues with space / volume restrictions. With this line up the drums are pre recorded and come through the sound system as normal, with the rest of the band performing live.
The 4 piece band is the same as the 3 piece but with the addition of live drums.
The band perform a minimum 2 x 70min sets, or shorter sets, and for most events this includes an arrival time of 5pm to setup, and to perform between 7pm-midnight. Other timings are available, these timings are a guide to the most popular timings requested by our clients.
Yes we regularly perform outside during the summer months, we would require a covered area to protect our equipment from both the sun and if it should rain. Let us know if you're planning an event outside and we will be happy to work with you.
The band's setlist is carefully crafted and regularly updated to ensure guests will be dancing and singing at a wide range of events. It's also good to let the musicians ensure the setlist flows well with transitions, the key of the song and different tempos.
We are definitely happy to discuss any requests you may have, as every event is different. With notice we can usually accommodate a couple of new songs to learn, and we are also happy to perform your first dance live if preferred over the original version.
Our clients love the live sound quality, and engagement with the audience. Most of the musicians use wireless systems so we can join on the dance floor when suitable, plus we have a live Sax player which really transforms the live sound.
As standard we provide up to 2 x 70min live performances, but these can be shorter if preferred. We can also split the performances into 3 x 45min sets if that works better for you. We will always work with you in advance to discuss the best performance times.
