International Touring and Awards
The Ibiza Era: Before establishing himself as a Premium Solo act on the UK club circuit, Ant spent years alternating between the UK and Spain.

High-End Technical Production
Ant doesn't just show up with a guitar and a microphone, he travels with a top of the range modern RCF concert P.A rig and a completely integrated, custom-coded light show. This professional touring set up allows him to transform small working men's clubs or corporate halls into high-fidelity, festival-quality experiences.
A Constantly Evolving Setlist
Massive Song Vault: Ant has put together over 150 tracks and custom visuals with integrated lighting. His repertoire spans a massive range, intentionally mixing classic Pop anthems with radio friendly Rock & Indie tracks.
The Element of Surprise: He explicitly chooses songs that audiences would expect from him, alongside completely unexpected genre curves to catch the crowd off guard.
Live Crowd Requests: Because his catalogue is so extensive, he does not follow a rigid set-list or script and every performance will vary. He encourages audience members to submit track requests either via his Official Facebook Page ahead of time or directly at the stage barrier before the music starts.
Show Variations & Options
Ant Green offers three different show variations to choose from which are dependant on Budget & Venue size.
1: The Guitar-Vocal Show
This is his most frequently booked standard performance for the classic UK lounge, club & pub circuit.
The Style: A fast-paced, high-energy solo show driven by live guitar and powerful vocals.
The Setlist: Heavy reliance on crowd-pleasing Rock, Indie & Pop mainstream radio anthems from the 1980’s to the present day.
The Venues: Regularly performs at Working Men's Clubs, Social Clubs, Pubs, Holiday Parks and a whole host of live music venues throughout the U.K.
2: The ‘Visions’ Show
This is a music performance accompanied by HD Visuals & Integrated lighting designed to be an immersive audience experience. This is Ant’s flagship touring production designed to bring a festival main-stage atmosphere into any venue.
The Production: Features an immersive setup including massive high-definition digital back-projection screens and a synchronized, automated light show, along with professionally edited video footage to storyboard the song in real time. The visuals can really tap into the emotion of a song which adds an extra special dimension to the audiences experience of the performance.
Immersive Elements: The "immersive" aspect comes from the large-scale set design, including extensive back projection and lighting, which creates a captivating atmosphere, aiming for the audience to feel a strong sense of ‘being there’.
The Exclusivity: The ‘Visions’ Show can only be performed at larger venues capable of handling the stage set size. Typically a 20 foot wide by 12 foot deep stage or performing area is required to accommodate the set up, or a 12 foot wide by 10 foot deep area can accommodate a stripped back version of the ‘Visions Show’
3: Acoustic Vibes & Power Ballads
Chilled Vibes Only: This performance contains laid back songs with an Acoustic feel, or big Ballads from over the years. Perfect for a more relaxed evening, or maybe even a wedding drinks reception. While Ant Green is well known for his high-energy, full-production solo shows featuring massive Rock and Pop anthems, Acoustic Vibes represents his more relaxed, intimate, and stripped-back musical setup.
The Atmosphere: This set relies entirely on a chilled, laid-back vibe. It swaps out heavy backing arrangements for clean, acoustic guitar-driven melodies, making it ideal for relaxed evenings at cocktail bars, upscale bistros, and afternoon festivals.
The Setlist: Instead of pure high-tempo Rock/Pop tracks, this repertoire pivots toward melodic classic pop, folk-tinged rock, and modern sing-alongs. For instance, it features his highly praised, emotional acoustic cover of the classic track "Iris" by the Goo Goo Dolls.
No Gimmicks: The show focuses entirely on his raw vocal talent and professional musicianship, allowing him to interact closely with the crowd.
Ant Green is highly popular and firmly established within his specific musical market. While he is not a mainstream global celebrity, he is considered a premier, top-tier headline act on the UK’s regional live music lounge, club, and festival circuit.
