Live band or DJ: which suits your event?

A live band brings energy, a real show and a moment your guests will remember. A DJ plays the exact recordings and keeps the floor moving for longer. You do not have to choose: a band with an in-house DJ gives you the live headline sets and a DJ to the end of the night.

What a live band adds

A real performance, not a playlist through speakers
Songs shaped to the room as the night goes
A focal point for the evening that guests talk about afterwards

What a DJ adds

The exact recordings of your favourite songs
Music from the end of the live set to the last dance
Easy requests on the night

The best of both

Supernova is a live band with an in-house DJ in one booking, with full sound and lighting included. See the band and DJ guide for how the night runs.

Questions

Is a live band louder than a DJ?

A professional band sets the volume to the room. Sound is engineered for the venue, so guests can still talk at the tables.

Do we need space for a band?

A band needs a clear performance area and power near it. Tell us your venue when you enquire and we will confirm what is needed.
