You remember the moment the radio DJ said “number one on TRL this week” and you turned the volume up. You remember the bass drop that made every car in the parking lot shake. Y2K Kids Band brings that whole cycle back to Rea Farms in Ballantyne on Saturday, May 9, with a setlist built from the songs that soundtracked flip phones, club nights, and every car ride home in the 2000s.
This is a live band show in an open-air community space where the setlist moves through pop hooks, guitar-driven anthems, hip-hop beats, and dance-floor energy without stopping. It’s the kind of night where you hear the intro and you’re already singing.

About Y2K Kids Band
Y2K Kids Band is a six-piece 2000s cover group that spans the full decade, from TRL-era pop and pop rock to club-ready hip-hop, R&B, and dance tracks. Shannon Remley and Ray Hartsfield share lead vocals, with Hartsfield also on guitar. Doug Grabowski plays bass and sings, G K Via handles lead guitar and vocals, Rob Bowser runs keyboards and synths, and Mike Graci anchors the rhythm on drums and electronic percussion. The lineup is built to recreate the energy of radio countdowns, mall-era anthems, and bass-heavy club nights with live instrumentation and vocal range that covers the era’s biggest names.
What You Will Hear
Expect the kind of night where you might hear “Mr. Brightside” into “Yeah!” into “Since U Been Gone” without a pause. The setlist pulls from Britney, Beyoncé, OutKast, The Killers, Lady Gaga, P!nk, Rihanna, Justin Timberlake, and Katy Perry. You might catch “Hot in Herre,” “Hips Don’t Lie,” “I Kissed a Girl,” “Single Ladies,” “Toxic,” “Bad Romance,” or “Party in the U.S.A.” depending on how the crowd moves. Every song is a chorus you already know.
