The Brit Pack celebrates the very best of British music. First came the British Invasion of the 1960s. Then came Brit Pop of the ’80s and ’90s. And the journey doesn’t stop there.
Formed by two Brits in New York City, The Brit Pack brings iconic UK rock to stages across the USA. Along the way, they honor decades of unforgettable sound. From early anthems to modern classics, every era gets its moment.
As a result, audiences experience a high-energy musical tour through Britain’s legendary catalog. Expect songs you know. Expect songs you love. And expect to sing along to hits by The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Queen, David Bowie, Elton John, The Who, Oasis, Tears for Fears, Radiohead, The Police, Amy Winehouse and more.
The Brit Pack delivers the most authentic British Invasion experience this side of the Atlantic. Founded in 2011 by British session musicians based in NYC, the band blends precision, passion, and pure rock spirit.
Together, the group features Matt Nakoa on vocals, guitar, and keys; Mark Johnson on guitar and vocals; Bryan Percivall on bass; and Will Haywood Smith on drums. Individually, they’ve performed with artists like Paul McCartney, Elton John, Britney Spears, and Chet Faker. They’ve also played for events at Google and YouTube and arranged music for major broadcasts, including The Oscars.
Most of all, The Brit Pack knows how to light up a room. Their show feels familiar, electric, and impossible to resist. In the end, it’s a night of British rock that brings everyone to their feet.
