Brightside

The act

A Bar Song one minute, Powderfinger the next. Brightside's set list jumps from Shaboozey, Luke Combs and Chris Stapleton to Paramore, Coldplay and Aussie staples like April Sun in Cuba, and it's built to keep a dance floor busy. The Newcastle band runs as a 4 or 5 piece with the option of adding sax or keys, and if they're booked for a reception, a duo or trio can cover the ceremony and canapes earlier in the day. Sets usually run 40 to 60 minutes. They bring everything needed: PA, instruments, leads and mics, and they'll take special request songs, sort music for between sets and help with the run sheet. Public liability insurance is in place.

Good to know

What to expect

They arrive with everything: PA, instruments, leads, microphones, the lot. Sets usually run 40 to 60 minutes. If there's a song that has to be played, ask and they'll work it in, and they'll also sort the music that plays between sets so the room doesn't go flat. If you're putting together a run sheet, they'll help with that too.

On the day

Power, and a performance space of roughly two metres by three at minimum. If the event is outdoors, cover in case the weather turns. Travel over two hours means accommodation gets built into the quote, and meals for the band members are needed on the day.

Set List

A wide list with a country streak running through it. Modern country brings A Bar Song (Tipsy), Beautiful Crazy, Beer Never Broke My Heart, Bad As I Used to Be, Chicken Fried, Boot Scootin' Boogie, Days Go By, The Gambler and Boys From the Bush. The Australian songs are strong: On My Mind by Powderfinger, April Sun in Cuba, Are You Gonna Be My Girl, Better Days, Better Be Home Soon and Eagle Rock. Then the singalong end, with Adventure of a Lifetime, Ain't It Fun, All Star, All Night Long, Am I Wrong, As It Was, Blame It on Me, Budapest, Brown Eyed Girl, Cake by the Ocean, Can't Feel My Face, Can't Stop the Feeling, Castle on the Hill, Chocolate, Crazy Little Thing Called Love, Dancing in the Moonlight, Don't Stop Believin', Dreams, Drive, Fast Car, Footloose, Galway Girl, Get Lucky, Gimme Gimme Gimme, Girlfriend, Girls Just Want to Have Fun, Blue Moon, The Anthem, All For You, The Boys of Summer and Lover (You Don't Treat Me No Good). It keeps going well past there.

Performance options
