Bookings for Freshers 24 are now building momentum so we wanted to share a couple of top picks from Foxpro Events...
From £1,500 to £5k, Foxpro recommend Patrick Nazemi, Danny T or Monka (live DJ/sample drummer with production value) at a lower level for high energy, engaging DJ sets. Karen Harding is a great shout, doing a 60 minute DJ set with live vocals including covers, and Switch Disco or Charlotte Plank are a couple of the bigger, more relevant bookings at really good value.
24hr Garage Girls bring a unique show with bags of energy too. Dick & Dom and Hacker T Dog are doing lots of course (Foxpro has several bookings already in for both), plus Tinchy Stryder generally does well for a throwback booking at a low fee.
Around the £5k mark and a bit above, Foxpro can look at Badger, Majestic, Hardy Caprio or Yungen. Towards £10k and above, we have acts such as Caity Baser, Sigma, Jake Bugg, Sub Focus and lots more.
Aside from those mentioned above, tribute acts are a really strong value option (usually no more than £2k even for a full band and often including dancers etc), and seem to increasingly land well with student audiences. Foxpro has a tribute brand called 'Replica' which you can use when booking a tribute act through them, saving time/money on graphic design, and the team know all the best tribute acts to use for a professional, entertaining experience. Foxpro also gets great feedback and exclusive discounts on Rockaoke (it's karaoke, with a full live band)!
If you're looking to book acts for your Freshers events, drop Foxpro a line to discuss options and see if there's any bulk bookings you can come in on to save even more money.
Good luck with your Freshers planning!
