Cover Band Dortmund — a song selection for large halls and mixed audiences

Dortmund celebrations are often large with mixed audiences: staff and management, several generations at one table. A repertoire of rock and pop classics, 80s and 90s, dance classics and current charts works well.

What we play

  • Current charts

    The songs playing right now — translated live, not from a backing track.

  • Soul & funk

    Motown, neo-soul and funk classics with horns and multi-part vocals.

  • 80s & 90s

    Pop, rock and R&B from two decades every generation knows.

  • Disco & dance classics

    From Studio 54 glamour to the dance anthems of the 90s.

  • Rock

    Classics with guitar and drive — dosed to suit the room.

  • German & international hits

    Sing-along songs in German as well as international evergreens.

  • Jazz & swing

    For reception and dinner: standards and swing, played conversation-friendly.

Own arrangements, not copies

We don't copy songs note for note — we arrange them for our line-up: multi-part vocals, a real horn section, our own medleys and seamless transitions, turning individual titles into one continuous set — tailored to the audience in Dortmund. Everything 100% live, no playback.

Song requests

A few weeks before the event we agree on the song selection together: you send favourites, must-haves and no-gos, we propose a running order for reception, dinner and party. Requests not yet in the repertoire are arranged and rehearsed if you ask in good time. On the night we read the room and adapt the order flexibly.

Line-ups

  • Standard: 7–10 musicians

    Rhythm section, keys, several lead and backing vocalists — the full breadth of the repertoire.

  • Acoustic duo or trio

    For reception and dinner: stripped back, warm, with jazz, soul and acoustic versions of well-known hits.

  • Horn section add-on

    Saxophone, trumpet, trombone for soul, funk and swing with a real horn section.

  • Cover band + DJ

    After the last live set our DJ takes over seamlessly, following the same musical thread.

How many songs does the cover band in Dortmund have in its repertoire?

Our repertoire spans charts, soul, funk, 80s/90s, disco, rock, German and international hits as well as jazz and swing, and keeps growing. We put together the selection individually for every event. In Dortmund, for large halls and mixed guest lists, we plan a selection that connects generations — from rock classics to current charts.

Can we submit song requests?

Yes. Before the event we agree on the song selection together: you name favourites and no-gos, we propose a running order. Individual requests not yet in the repertoire are arranged and rehearsed if you ask in good time — for your event in Dortmund too.

Does the band play live or with playback?

100% live, no playback. Vocals, instruments and horns are played on stage — with our own arrangements, medleys and transitions.

Yes. For reception and dinner we play stripped back and conversation-friendly — jazz, swing, soul and acoustic versions of well-known songs. After that the repertoire opens up towards the party.

Does the cover band bring sound and lighting?

We bring concert-grade backline, in-ear monitoring and our own sound engineer. Room sound and stage lighting are coordinated with the venue or production. On request we bring the complete system — priced in the quote.
