Introducing The Gloves, Italy's original wedding band, active since 2002 with over 1,800 successful parties and recipients of numerous international awards and accolades.

Prepare to be blown away by our eight-piece band featuring a live horn section and dynamic male/female lead vocals for an unforgettable performance! Our specialty lies in delivering an engaging and interactive party experience, fueled by the infectious energy and charisma of our band members who know how to connect with and involve the crowd.

Our extensive repertoire spans from the timeless rock 'n' roll classics of the '50s to the legendary pop hits of the '60s, the iconic rock anthems of the '70s, the disco dancefloor-fillers of the '80s, and the chart-topping hits of the '90s and 2000s. From Stevie Wonder to ABBA, from Whitney Houston to Bee Gees, from Diana Ross to Van Morrison and Tina Turner, and all the way to the more recent Kathrina & the Waves, Spice Girls, and Eiffel 65 – we'll keep your guests dancing for over two hours with an electrifying music whirlwind!
