The festive booking rush is already under way : and one of Britain’s most recognisable pop acts is preparing to return with a major new live show.
Right Said Fred are back in 2027 with a full live band show, and corporate Christmas and New Year bookings are now available.
For event planners looking for more than background music, this is a headline opportunity. The Fairbrass brothers bring global chart recognition, decades of live experience and a catalogue that can turn a room of guests into a dancing, singing crowd within seconds.
For corporate event entertainment, it is difficult to find a more immediate proposition.
Why Right Said Fred are perfect for a Christmas party
Christmas events need energy. They need a clear focal point. Most importantly, they need entertainment that works across age groups and does not require a lengthy introduction.
Right Said Fred deliver all three.
Their breakthrough hit, “I’m Too Sexy”, is instantly recognisable. So is “Deeply Dippy”, their UK No.1 single, while “Don’t Talk Just Kiss” and “Stand Up (For The Champions)” add further depth to a set designed for audience participation.
A full live band brings scale and impact to that familiar material. It transforms a nostalgic pop booking into a proper headline performance : one capable of closing an awards dinner, lifting an end-of-year party or creating the defining moment of a company celebration.
A genuine 90s pop icon
Right Said Fred were formed in 1989 by brothers Fred and Richard Fairbrass. According to their Great British Musicians profile, they have become one of the UK’s most enduring pop exports.
Their credentials include:
- More than 25 million global sales
- No.1 records in 30+ countries
- The first band to achieve a US No.1 with a debut single since The Beatles
- Two Ivor Novello Awards
- A Brit Award nomination
- Nine studio albums
- A performance for the Queen
- More than 1.5 billion streams as artists and songwriters
- More than 1.3 million monthly Spotify listeners
This is not a tribute act reproducing a famous sound. It is the original band, led by the brothers who created the music and helped shape the visual language of early-90s pop.
That distinction matters at a major corporate event. Guests know when they are watching the real artists.
The full live band show: bigger sound, bigger moment
A headline artist needs to feel like a headline artist.
The 2027 Right Said Fred show is being presented with a full live band, creating a richer and more dynamic performance than a conventional guest appearance. The result is a set with the immediacy of a pop concert and the flexibility required for a premium private event.
That makes the show particularly well suited to:
- Corporate Christmas parties
- New Year celebrations
- Awards nights
- Gala dinners
- Product launches
- Company milestone events
- Client entertainment
- Fundraising galas
- International conferences
- End-of-year staff celebrations
The full-band format also gives event planners greater production possibilities. Lighting, staging, screens and event branding can be built around a performance that feels substantial, polished and memorable.
For organisers considering party bands for hire, the advantage is clear: this is not simply a band to fill the dance floor. It is a headline booking with a story, a recognisable identity and global cultural reach.
More than one iconic hit
Right Said Fred’s appeal extends well beyond “I’m Too Sexy”.
Songs guests already know
The strongest corporate performances combine recognition with momentum. Right Said Fred’s catalogue gives the audience both.
Their key songs include:
- “I’m Too Sexy” – the global breakthrough hit and one of the most instantly identifiable singles of the 1990s.
- “Deeply Dippy” – the UK No.1 that showed the band were far more than a one-song phenomenon.
- “Don’t Talk Just Kiss” – a high-energy favourite with international dancefloor appeal.
- “Stand Up (For The Champions)” – a sports anthem performed and adopted around the world.
- “You’re My Mate” – another enduring crowd-pleaser with strong sporting associations.
- Later material and contemporary releases, including their 2024 success with “Sweet Harmony” and 2025’s “Wunderbar”, which reached No.1 on the Heritage Chart.
That blend allows the performance to move from playful nostalgia to full-room celebration. It is exactly the kind of progression a Christmas event needs as dinner gives way to dancing.
Cross-generational appeal for corporate audiences
A Christmas party may bring together graduates, senior leadership, long-serving employees, clients and guests from different countries. Their musical tastes will not always align.
A genuine 90s pop chart artist can bridge that gap.
Older guests remember the original chart success. Younger audiences know the songs through streaming, television, films, sporting events and contemporary artists who have drawn on the band’s work.
Right Said Fred’s songwriting credits make that connection especially powerful. The brothers are associated with:
- Taylor Swift’s “Look What You Made Me Do”
- Drake’s “Way 2 Sexy”, certified 5x Platinum
- Beyoncé’s “Alien Superstar”, a US Billboard No.1
This creates a compelling narrative for modern audiences. The band are not simply a snapshot of the 1990s. Their influence continues to appear in some of the biggest records of the streaming era.
That is why Right Said Fred sit comfortably among leading 90s pop chart artists while still feeling relevant to a contemporary corporate audience.
The headline wow factor for awards nights
Awards events are built around anticipation and reveal. The entertainment should match that structure.
Right Said Fred can be introduced after the formal awards, speeches or dinner service as the evening’s major release of energy. The first notes of “I’m Too Sexy” can change the atmosphere immediately, giving guests a reason to leave their tables and head for the dance floor.
For an awards night, the booking offers:
- A recognisable name for invitations and event marketing
- A strong headline moment after the ceremony
- Songs that encourage audience participation
- A performance suitable for mixed-age guest lists
- The production value of a full live band
- A memorable closing chapter to the evening
The same applies to a New Year event. A carefully timed headline performance can build momentum before midnight or carry the party into the early hours.
Why you should enquire early
Christmas and New Year dates are among the most competitive in the live entertainment calendar.
The best-known Christmas party bands and headline artists are often approached well in advance, particularly for Fridays and Saturdays in December. Venue availability, production schedules, travel requirements and guest expectations all need to align.
For 2027, early planning is even more important if you want:
- A specific December date
- A full live band configuration
- A headline performance slot
- Bespoke production requirements
- A particular venue or city
- A New Year’s Eve booking
Great British Musicians can check availability, discuss the most suitable format and advise on the practical requirements before you make a final decision.
