Rating: 5.0 (99 reviews)

With no less than three vocalists in the band sharing songs between them (if booking as a 5-pce), The Crossfades are overflowing with rock'n'roll good vibes and authenticity. Melody, harmony, attitude, crowd-pleasing charm – they've got it all!

The band specialise in guitar-based rock and pop across the decades and their range is eclectic, taking in The Beatles and The Police through Sum 41 and Blur to Two Door Cinema Club, Camila Cabello and Justin Timberlake.

Their repertoire also includes a long list of first dances to choose from.

The band's location in Gloucestershire allows them to serve venues in the deep South West as well as Wales, the west country and the Midlands, and they've played many of the region's best known wedding venues, including Polhawn Fort, Clearwell Castle, Tunnels Beaches, Priston Mill, Plas Dinas, Rhinefield House, Berkeley Castle and St Davids Hotel.

Other notable venues include the Vox Conference Centre at the NEC, Canterbury Cathedral and the Roman Baths.

Their corporate clients include Nationwide, Microsoft, RAC, BBC, Titan Airways, the National Round Table and many others, and they've played as far afield as Sardinia and the South of France in the last year alone.

The Crossfades were fantastic from the moment they were booked. Fantastic musicians, really nice people, kept the dance floor buzzing all night! Holly, Wedding at Rhinefield House in the New Forest

Members of the band have performed all around the world from the US to China and all over Europe, with appearances at Glastonbury, BST Hyde Park, Reading and Leeds festivals to name a few. They've also performed at prestigious venues including the Royal Albert Hall, London Bridge and Eden Project.

The band recommend their 4-piece band for the biggest and best sound, which includes an extra guitarist or keyboards for that extra depth and dimension. But they can scale down to a 3-piece if required, and also upgrade to a 5-piece for larger events.

They band provide a laptop DJ set to keep the party pumping, and they'll learn a first dance or special song at your request. The boys are used to venues of all shapes and sizes and crowds of all ages – whatever your event, you can be sure they’ll adapt!

The Crossfades are our most popular male-fronted wedding band in Gloucestershire and the South West, and work exclusively through Function Central.

Please note that quotes for weekend dates in peak season (May-Oct) may be significantly higher than the advertised from price.

Book with confidence! After events, we ask our clients what they thought of our acts. We publish what they say here, so you can read genuine, unbiased feedback before booking.

“It's a shame I'm not able to leave 6 stars! The Crossfades were absolutely incredible from start to finish. They read the room perfectly and adapt their set based on what they are seeing in front of them. They had the whole room dancing and played something for everyone. They were very accommodating to all our requests and even let me play a few songs with them. They had a very professional approach from booking them through to their performance. What goes under the radar a bit is that they are all very nice guys as well as being top performers. We are very grateful to The Crossfades for making our wedding day a proper party - everybody who has spoken to us has said how good they were. I would not hesitate recommending The Crossfades for any event - absolutely perfect in every sense.”

Dan, Wedding, Morgans Hotel, Swansea, March 2024

“The band were very good and played a good range of songs. I would definitely recommend them.”

Stella, 18th Birthday Party, Tewkesbury, December 2023

“The Crossfades were brilliant and got everyone up on the dancefloor with a great set list, and they were able to play our first dance too. Thanks guys.”

Jess, Wedding, Stennack Farm, Camborne, October 2023

“The Crossfades are an incredible band and delivered beyond our expectations with a varied set, great rapport and were super friendly. Would highly recommend.”

Jon, Wedding, Polhawn Fort, Cornwall, October 2023

“The Crossfades were incredible! I sent a selection of requests for them to play and they were more than happy to include them in their set list. From the first to the last song the dance floor was full! They even let the best man get on the mic and do Mr Brightside! 10/10 would recommend”
