Last update: March 2025

The New Retros is a wedding band based in Queen Street, Manchester, and happy to travel throughout the northwest of the country. This group of musicians puts on a soulful and energetic show wherever they go. They'll work hard to get every guest on the dance floor, celebrating your biggest moments in style. The band studied at some of the country's best schools, gaining years of industry experience, and they are excited to help you commemorate the day.

Services Offered

The New Retros will be on hand to support you throughout the music planning process and will create a personalised playlist for your wedding. You're invited to meet with them for an initial consultation to discuss your musical tastes and ideas for the day. The band will curate a setlist based on what you like, playing pop and rock hits from the 1950s up to today. The New Retros usually play in three stages around the meal and can arrange a DJ to continue the music when they finish their set.
