POP & ROCK.
PLAYED WITH
PERSONALITY.
We’re Fantasm. Our setlist moves from Queen and Journey to The Killers, blink-182 and Maroon 5, bringing different favorites together in one live show.
For venues, festivals and celebrations
across the Mid-Atlantic.
THIS IS
FANTASM.
Fantasm brings decades of pop and rock together for a crowd whose favorites don’t all sound alike. Classic anthems, alternative favorites, pop-punk singalongs and pop hits give us room to build a night around the people in front of us. Since 2018, we’ve brought that range to clubs, festivals and celebrations across the Mid-Atlantic.
Our full-band sound pairs two guitars with multiple lead voices. Rhythm and lead parts can work together, signature riffs stay in the spotlight, and guitar harmonies have room to shine. We put care into the arrangements and the flow of the set, giving familiar songs the attention they deserve.
Big nights.
Repeat invitations.
297 shows played since 2018, with bookings across Maryland, Delaware and Virginia.
Booked again and again
56 booked dates at Tin Roof Baltimore, 23 booked dates at The Jetty and 14 booked dates at Harrington Raceway & Casino.
Venues & events

Festival & concert bills
Festival billing with Gin Blossoms at the Fells Point Festival. 98 Rock–presented shows, including the Don Voyage benefit at The Recher.
“You guys killed it. Look forward to having you back next year…”
