The Anthems are Cumbria’s ultimate feel-good party band – bringing high-octane live music, powerhouse vocals, and unforgettable energy to weddings, festivals, and events across the UK.

With a line-up of professional musicians who’ve toured stages from London to Lisbon (and still made it back in time for the school run), we’re not just a band – we’re your very own live jukebox, armed with floor-filling anthems and hands-in-the-air singalongs from every decade.

We pride ourselves on being interactive, inclusive, and just the right amount of chaotic – the kind of band that gets your nan dancing to The Killers and your little cousin singing Bon Jovi into a hairbrush. Whether it’s your big day, your big event, or just a big night out, we bring the sparkle, the sass, and the soundtrack to match.

We’re The Anthems. We don’t just play the hits – we are the party.
