The Lightyears present
Mixing a rock band and DJ beats to create a unique dancefloor-filling live show featuring samples from the original artists. For festivals and large corporate & private events.
We play blocks.
Bangers & Anthems is our flagship show and has been designed to more closely mirror a DJ set than a standard covers band. We ditched 80% of our set and added pop and dance anthems we’d previously considered ‘un-giggable’, building blocks of music that flow together.
Here are five that have been going down a storm over the past year:
We sample the artist and add it to the mix.
Of course, we can play 100% live if we want to… we just choose to incorporate some of the greatest pop and dance vocalists and riffs into our show. Try listening from just outside the venue – Is that a DJ? Is it a band? From the stage, we see people come to the dancefloor for the recorded music and then realise what’s going on and engage with the live performance.
Consistent line-up. Consistent chemistry.
Did we mention that The Lightyears are made up of friends and brothers who have been playing in the same line-up since we were kids? No random session musicians here – Robbie Williams can keep them!
Never seen anything quite like this…
Sick of the hyperbole? Want to watch one of our blocks at an actual gig? Oh, go on then…
