About the Experience

The Live 2000s Rock Night you Always Wanted

Nostalgia is the UK’s only premium 2000s-era rock music experience – a full-volume throwback night built around the songs, videos and chaos you grew up with, brought to life by a band who’ve spent decades on real stages and with you in the crowd singing along like it's not just a phase.

More Than a Covers Band

From the moment the lights drop, Nostalgia is designed to feel like being dropped back into your teenage bedroom and the best gig of your life at the same time.

We lean into every part of that 90s/00s rock era – not just the music, but the look, the visuals, the culture and the in-jokes that only people who lived it really get.

  • Band members styled as iconic 2000s rock and alt heroes
  • Huge karaoke-style lyric videos and interludes on the big screen
  • Movies and TV throwback moments woven into the show
  • Era-specific posters, props and memorabilia around the venue*
  • Immersive lighting and visuals to make sure the crowd knows every word

*Full immersive setup varies by venue size and layout.

On stage

The Nostalgia Lineup

Up to six musicians on stage, all in on the same mission: make it feel like the peak of your Kerrang! years, but with grown-up production.

NAME

Chloe Ozwell as Avril Lavigne

Vocals

High-energy front-woman with the range and grit to take on the biggest 2000s anthems without losing the chaos and heart.

NAME

Olly Simmons as Jacoby Shaddix

Vocals

Lead vocals and crowd commander, driving the sing-alongs and the scream-the-bridge moments every Nostalgia night is built around.

NAME

Dan “Rev” Hicks as Jim Root

Guitars

Big riffs and the tones that made the 2000s so much fun to headbang to.

NAME

Matt Oak as Wes Borland

Guitars

Harmonies, textures and the extra layers that make everything feel like you’re inside the record.

NAME

Joe Constable as Mikey Way

Bass

Low-end glue tying the whole thing together – from pop-punk bounce to nu-metal heaviness.

NAME

Tom Shrimpton as Rob Bourdon

Drums

The engine room. From skater-park punk tempos to half-time breakdowns, Tom keeps the room moving.

Where we play

From Club Nights to Festivals

Nostalgia is built to work anywhere the volume can go up – from self-promoted headline shows in 500–1,200-cap rooms, to festival slots, to private and corporate events that want something louder than your standard function band.

  • Self-booked “full takeover” nights – we hire the venue, bring the screens, props and chaos, and turn it into a 2000s shrine for one night only.
  • Direct venue bookings – clubs and venues book Nostalgia as their live alt-2000s show for the night.
  • Festivals – condensed version of the show for fast changeovers, same level of energy.
  • Private & corporate events – the Nostalgia set tailored for parties, functions and anything that needs a heavy dose of 2000s rock.
