ROCKAOKE perform on A League Of Their Own

Quite possibly one of the most fun days at ‘work’ we’ve had!!
When we were invited onto A League Of Their Own by Sky we weren’t really sure what to expect, but we always say expect the unexpected. This was quite possibly one of the most fun 12hrs in ROCKAOKE history!
We played the intros and the outros while sharing a studio with Wayne Rooney, Maya Jama and host Romesh Ranganathan, who gave us a big introduction. Maya even joined us onstage to perform her go-to karaoke song – When The Sun Goes Down by Arctic Monkeys.

Highlights from Marillion Weekend 2025

Here are some more awesome ROCKAOKE highlights from this year’s Marillion Weekender! These include Marillion’s manager Lucy joining us onstage to unleash her inner rock queen!

It’s been such a privilege to have been a part of these magical music events hosted by Marillion over the past 10 years. It all started back in 2015 when we were asked to come out and play at their Weekender at Port Zelande in the Netherlands, and we’ve been playing the late night/early morning after-shows ever since.

It’s looking like this year’s weekend may have been the final one ever, so we had to make sure it went out with a big bang! But, as James Bond would say, never say never again…

HEATWORLD – Sing Stars

EXCITING NEWS……! ROCKAOKE has been featured in the latest edition of Heatworld as one of the top ‘quirky karaoke’ nights around.

“Get the goss on the new craze for quirky karaoke”

If you prefer your sing-along experience with added air guitar, this is probably the closest you’ll get to joining a rock band. The on-hand pro musicians promise they’ll make you feel like you are in a band, whether you’re rocking out to Arctic Monkeys or AC-DC.

They’ve entertained everyone from James Corden to Jeremy Corbyn (yes, really) so you’ll be in superstar company. And as well as private events and one-off appearances, they have regular gigs in both London (various locations) and their hometown of Sheffield in the Mulberry Bar.

Bohemian Rhapsody, the movie!!

Is this the real life, or is it just fantasy!?

Back in January we were asked by long time Rockaoke fan, Dexter Fletcher (film director) if we could come along to The Bloomsbury Ballroom and play at the wrap party for Queen’s ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ biopic.

It was a slightly surreal night, what with us being in the same room and playing in front of total rock legends Brain May and Roger Taylor. This was made even more surreal by Rami Malek, who plays Freddie Mercury in the film, slaying through Queen songs ‘Tie Your Mother Down’ and ‘Under Pressure’ with all the Freddie mannerisms down to a tee.


And come the end of the night, when the grand finale was upon us, it could only have been one song………Bohemian Rhapsody, led by Oscar winning film producer Graham King. The perfect way to sign off from one of the craziest nights in Rockaoke history.

The official film trailer is out now. From what we saw on the night, it’s going to be amazing.

ROCKAOKE……the Premier League Champions of live band karaoke!

Blue Moon at the Manchester City Champions Party 2018 from ROCKAOKE on Vimeo.

Ever wondered how world class, elite, Premier League Footballers celebrate winning the Premier League? Naturally, they hire Rockaoke!!

Premier League 2018 winners Manchester City hired Rockaoke to help world class football superstars such as Sergio Aguero, Leroy Sane, John Stones, Kyle Walker, Kevin De Bruyne to name but a few, live out their Rock ‘n’ Roll dreams by fronting their very own live band.

The venue of choice was the Mayfield Depot, Manchester, an old disused railway depot. The evening started off a little quiet until the whole team invaded the stage to sing club anthem “Blue Moon”, then things hotted up as the night quickly picked up pace with the guys doing “Hey Jude”, “Mr Brightside”, “Suspicious Minds” and many more. Even City supporter and guitar hero Johnny Marr of The Smiths popped his head in just to see if the team had the same swagger on the stage as they’ve had all season on the pitch. He didn’t fancy getting up himself saying… “I’m off the clock boys but sounds cool. I’ll stick around”.

Just goes to show, everyone loves singing with a live band…..even the most expensive footballers on the planet!
