Creating the Right Atmosphere: The Role of Music at Awards Ceremonies

Awards ceremonies are all about anticipation, celebration and class. The room should buzz with anticipation, feel electric during the big reveals, and end in full-blown celebration mode. At Sound With Us, we understand that music for awards ceremonies is never background noise, it’s the heartbeat of the whole night.

We bring the vibrancy of live music to your awards party, transforming it into an unforgettable celebration of achievement. Our exceptional live bands and artists set the stage for an evening filled with energy and elegance. With a carefully curated soundtrack, we keep your event flowing, your audience engaged, and every moment feeling special.

Setting the Tone from the Start

First impressions count. As guests arrive, the right awards ceremony music sets expectations immediately. It says: this is going to be something special.

Introduce your brand and vision with class by choosing an instrumental jazz trio to ease your guests into the evening. Want something more atmospheric? Picture a sexy saxophone gliding over modern Ibiza-style beats – Smooth, cool and undeniably chic. We can tailor the music to suit your theme, your audience and your venue, building a rich soundscape that welcomes and excites. At Sound With Us we can complete this vision with speciality acts such as aerial silk artists or themed roaming performers dressed up for any era or style. 

Celebrating the Winners

Every category announcement, every standing ovation, every moment of surprise and triumph – A good soundtrack should seamlessly accompany and lift it all together. That’s where music for awards shows really works its magic and having a showband that’s experienced in awards ceremonies is absolutely key.

Live stings, walk-up tracks, memorable melodies and dramatic drum rolls – We provide it all. Our team works closely with you or your AV team or production company to align every cue. A short, sharp brass blast to announce a winner. A soaring anthem to elevate the final award. Every beat is timed to perfection, keeping the energy high and the atmosphere electric.

Our Bands Make It a Night to Remember

Whatever vibe you’re going for, we’ve got the stylistic look and soundtrack to match. Some of our most popular themes for awards ceremony entertainment include:

• Our Vintage Jazz pop band, channelling the glamour of the Roaring 20s in full Great Gatsby style
• Our Motown Gold band bringing the soul and swagger of the 60s and 70s
• Our Party Mix Showband playing the biggest hits everyone knows and loves
• Our Disco Fever band packed with funk, glitter and iconic anthems
• Our DJ Live energy-packed act featuring roaming live instruments and a modern sound

These are not performances in name only. They are full-scale experiences, tailored to fit your theme and leave a lasting impression, well beyond the event itself.

The Grand Finale: DJ Sets that Raise the Roof

You’ve handed out the awards, captured the photos and toasted the winners. Now it’s time to switch gears and let loose. Our bespoke awards ceremony DJ sets bring the party to life, and they’re anything but standard.

Choose a manned DJ experience curated specifically for your event, your crowd and your energy. Want to go bigger? Our DJ Live set takes things up a level with a dynamic fusion of DJing and live performance. Roaming musicians like sax players, percussionists, guitarists and even electric violinists join the dancefloor, interacting with guests and keeping the energy sky high.

With or without a vocalist, this format is a crowd favourite. Immersive, electric and unforgettable. It is the ultimate way to close the night in style.
