Event  Music
The Hitbingo Band is an interactive live show full of music, playing along, and singing along. This unique concept is a cross between a pub quiz, a live band, and a comedy club. The five-piece semi-acoustic band races through seven decades of pop history, from Elvis to Dua Lipa, in short, energetic medleys. For every song, the bingo wheel determines a quiz question. Enter the answer on your phone, cross off a square, and whoever gets five in a row gets to take the stage for a festive finale full of improvisation, interaction, and applause.
